Sometimes, I Wish...
Written April 1994
Appears on Death And Re:Bertha
Available as an mp3


I used to call her by her name
Ain't it funny how things just don't seem the same
After you start calling each other
Those stupid little names.

We held steady for a time
We both got sick of it, tried that much harder to make it right
And before we knew it
We ended up giving our lives.

Chorus:
And sometimes I wish that water wasn't wet
Or the skies weren't blue
And sometimes I wish that the earth didn't spin
And sometimes I wish I didn't still love you.

I don't see it as something wrong
I see her eyes everyday
And they ask me if I want to talk forgiveness
I don't know what to say.

So sometimes I drink and sometimes I think
What I'd do if the whole goddamn world didn't stink
But sometimes you gotta face these things
When your wife... slips off her ring.
Chorus:
And sometimes I wish that blood wasn't red
Or her eyes weren't blue
And sometimes I wish that my head didn't spin
And sometimes I wish I didn't still love you.

Bridge:
It used to be that I was running with the clouds
I went sailing across the floor
For just a minute, I thought I knew my right from wrong
But just a minute can last a lifetime

They say that people can change
But I'm not sure I can change a thing
I think I already tried too damn hard
To change the way that people think.

Chorus:
And sometimes I wish that water wasn't wet
Or the sky wasn't blue
And sometimes I wish that the earth didn't spin
...
And sometimes I wish that blood wasn't red
Or her eyes weren't so blue
And sometimes I wish that my head didn't spin
And sometimes I wish I didn't still love you.
