Sometimes I make mistakes then I make them again
Sometimes I don't feel as American as my white friends
Sometimes I sing, sometimes I don't even bother
Sometimes I'm a kid, sometimes I'm just like my father
The hands on the clock look the same
Is it half past noon or is it 6?
I'm doing what I can to stay sane
Just hoping now that something sticks
Sometimes I feel like losing myself in my friends
Sometimes I feel that a climax is more like an end
Sometimes I write, sometimes i've got nothing to say
Sometimes I observe, sometimes I just look away
And I'm not sure what this is about
But I really think that I've gotta go
I've got nothing left to show - I've got no doubts
I should have left you long ago
