Sometimes

Well I think you ought to know by now
Did it slip your memory?
Played the fool for another round
And you won the Emmy

And you've only got yourself left to blame
When you wind up at the bottom again
Should have listened to what your friends were saying
But you played another hand of the game

Cause sometimes you forget
What you already learned
Sometimes you touch fire
When you know that it burns
Sometimes you regret
Letting somebody in
Just remember the sunshine
Always finds you again

So you got it figured out this time
Happy ever after
Spent so long getting stupefied
But you closed that chapter

And so you keep on turning the page
Thinking that the past will stay in it's place
Take for granted that you're acting your age
'Til you double-down on the same mistakes

Cause sometimes you forget
What you already learned
Sometimes you touch fire
When you know that it burns
Sometimes you regret
Letting somebody in
Just remember the sunshine
Always finds you again
