Sometimes

Sometimes I hide it when I'm high
Sometimes I waste away the whole damn afternoon
Like a diamond in the sky
I get a twinkle in my eye
When I float away from you
Take me out to the trees
Let me dance under the leaves
And get real stoned
Take me further than I've been
Wrap me up in all my sin
And leave me alone
I know it might be grim
But I just can't let you in
So I hide it when I'm high
Sometimes I run away from you
It ain't what I aim to do
Like a heart with broken bones
Or a good punch in the nose
I'm painted black and blue
When the dark and stormy seas
Reach my ankles and my knees
I get knocked down
When the birds and the bees
Both decide it's time to leave I spin right out
One day I won't be found
And I'll wish that you were 'round
But I run away from you
Just between you and me
There's no place I'd rather be
Than back at home
Though the grass ain't always green
It's fine with me, its what it is, it's what I know
And what I know is when the wind starts to blow
I'm gonna love you so
When I come back down
Tie me ankles to the ground
Tell me I don't have to go
Sometimes I hide it when I'm high
And I waste away the whole damn afternoon
