Sometimes (Empty Sky)

Sometimes I think I'm sinking under
Sometimes I don't know what to say
And I can't help but stop and wonder
It makes no difference anyway
When silent water says I must decide if I believe that my survival
Depends on your arrival
I just wait looking into an empty sky
Sometimes I think I hear you talking
I try to disregard the pain
And when you tell me to start walking again
I wonder what we've ever gained
In the beginning, just a simple man, I tried to live and love you
But had to let go of you to begin to understand an empty sky
I look at people that I meet
Sometimes they're strangers in the street
Can't seem to recognize you
So instead I criticize you
That's the time to my surprise you call my name
But that's only sometimes
Can't seem to recognize you
So instead I criticize you
That's the time to my surprise you call my name
But that's only
Sometimes you're the sea surrounding me
My heart with your's is pounding
Still I know you know I'm drowning
I can see you
I can see you

In an empty sky
Sometimes I can see you in an empty sky
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
