Sometimes
Reflections on Lost Moments: Fleetwood Mac's 'Sometimes'
Lyrics
Sometimes I get to thinking
Reflecting on past experiences and memories
About the times we used to have
Nostalgic recollection of shared moments
But now you've gone away and left me so alone
Expressing the feeling of being abandoned and lonely
(La di da, la di da da, la di da)
(Refrain) Filling the gap with a nonsensical, almost dismissive phrase
Although my back is aching
Despite physical discomfort, continuing with daily tasks
I'll work the whole day through
Determination to work diligently throughout the day
Although you hear that I've been wasting
Awareness of rumors or judgments about time being wasted
All my time
Admitting to spending time without clear purpose
Taking the sun from the sky
Taking away the brightness or joy from life
Lifting our hearts to the day
Elevating spirits and embracing the day
Thinking of new revelations
Contemplating new and meaningful insights
Talking with nothing to say
Engaging in conversations with little substance
Sometimes I get to thinking
Repeating thoughts about the past and shared experiences
About the times we used to have
Nostalgic recollection, emphasizing the absence of the other person
But now you've gone away and left me so alone
Expressing the feeling of being abandoned and lonely (repeated)
(La di da, la di da da, la di da)
(Refrain) Reiterating the nonsensical phrase for emphasis
Although my back is aching
Despite physical discomfort, maintaining a strong work ethic
I'll work the whole day through
Commitment to working diligently throughout the day (repeated)
Although you hear that I've been wasting
Acknowledging awareness of rumors or judgments about time management (repeated)
All my time
Admitting to spending time without clear purpose (repeated)
Taking the sun from the sky
Taking away the brightness or joy from life (repeated)
Lifting our hearts to the day
Elevating spirits and embracing the day (repeated)
Thinking of new revelations
Contemplating new and meaningful insights (repeated)
Talking with nothing to say
Engaging in conversations with little substance (repeated)
