Template:Infobox song "Sometimes" is the sixth track on the album Wake Me and seventh track on the album ...No Sun Today. The song received local radio airplay.

Background

Jason Barnes came up with the musical idea for "Sometimes". Chester Bennington wrote all the lyrics. About its meaning, Chester said: "Basically it's just about, I don't know. It's kind of self explanatory. It's just basically about just somebody realizing that, you know, sometimes things just don't happen to work out the way you always plan them to work out. And it's kind of hard to think straight when that happens."

The song was recorded in 1994 by Chester Bennington, Jason Barnes, Jonathan Krause and Sean Dowdell with production by David Knauer for Wake Me and between 1996 and 1997 by Chester Bennington, Bobby Benish, Mace Beyers and Sean Dowdell with production by Michael Jones for ...No Sun Today.

Lyrics

Template:Collapse top

Sometimes,
Things just seem to fall apart
When you least expect them to

Sometimes,
You want to pack up and leave behind
All of them and all their smiles

I don't know
What to think any more
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe, maybe

Sometimes,
People surprise you
And people surprise me

But I guess that's the price we pay
For wanting, so badly

I don't know
What to think any more
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe, maybe

I don't know
What to think any more
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe, maybe

Sometimes...
Sometimes...
Sometimes...

Sometimes, things just seem to fall apart
When you least expect them to
Sometimes you want to pack up and leave behind
All of them and their smiles

I don't know, what to think anymore
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe, maybe...

Sometimes, people surprise you
And people surprise me
Well I guess that's the price we pay
For wanting so badly

I don't know, what to think anymore
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe, maybe...

I don't know, what to think anymore
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe, maybe
Maybe, yeah...

Sometimes
Sometimes
