You bite my bottom lip so hard it bleeds You punch me in the chest and cry it breathes You push me out of bed and with bloodshot eyes You growl a rather slow and strange surprise Sometimes things just happen Sometimes they just happen Hope can be contagious, fear can too I go the strangest mix of both from you Your mood swings and you disappointed stare The way your sister always liked my hair Sometimes things just happen Sometimes they just happen But I'm not trying to deceive you or help make your mind I always told you that not everyone is kind I can't tell if you're crying as you board your train It's not that easy for me to try to explain That sometimes things just happen Sometimes they just happen Pack your little suitcase, find your gloves Buy the local grappa that your Grandma loves Stare into the west and watch the sun Slide into the earth where you came from Sometimes things just happen Sometimes they just happen But I'm not trying to deceive you or help make your mind I always told you that not everyone is kind I can't tell if you're crying as you board your train It's not that easy for me to try to explain That sometimes things just happen Sometimes they just happen
