Lyrics Tindersticks

Tindersticks

Sometimes It Hurts

You're wasting your time coming 'round here

What got you to thinking there was something new going on?

You're wasting your time coming 'round here

What got you to thinking I had a different song?

Been lying awake all night trying to figure out

It's that old song - keeps running around in my head

You're wasting your time coming 'round here

But what's good for me is not necessarily for the best

So play it for me

Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't, you know

Some days it hurts, some days it feels real good

Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it don't, you know

Some days it works so good I can see my way home

Been climbing these old walls warning and screaming what a cheat you are

Ah, how much you mean ?

'Cause nothing else comes near me, you got this trick going on

May have the sharpest chisel, the keenest eye

It's just that old song, I've only got the one

So play it for me

Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't, you know

Some days it hurts, some days it feels real good

Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it don't, you know

Some days it works so good I can see my way home

I may unscrew the top just to hear that sound

I may pour a little just to see the light shining through

A little sip, but no more

Hey, you belong to me now, don't you wander too far

So play it for me

And I'll play it for you

So play it for me

And I'll play it for you

Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't, you know

Some days it hurts, some days it feels real good

Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it don't, you know

Some days it works so good...

I'm wasting my time coming 'round here

What once burned so brightly is all but smoke in the air

You're wasting your time coming 'round here

What got you to thinking I had a different song?
