Lyrics
SENTIMENTAL TEARDROPS
The song is titled "SENTIMENTAL TEARDROPS."
Sometimes I want to be sad, sometimes I want to be happy
Expressing a desire to experience both sadness and happiness at times.
I just want to feel everything, the cheerful and the sappy
Yearning to feel a wide range of emotions, including joy and sentimentality.
I just want to be loved as everybody should
Desiring to be loved, like everyone should be.
Sometimes I want to say nothing and still be understood
Expressing a wish to remain silent yet be understood by others.
Sometimes it's hard to be easy, tough to be cool
Acknowledging the difficulty of being easygoing and the challenge of appearing cool.
Time keeps slipping on past me no matter what I do
Reflecting on time passing regardless of one's actions.
And if a sentimental teardrop is running down my cheek
Describing the experience of a sentimental teardrop running down the cheek.
I'm holding back a rain cloud that needs to be released
Suppressing emotions like a rain cloud that needs release.
I like to hear the rain fall as I go to sleep
Finding solace in the sound of rain falling while going to sleep.
To wash away those old dreams I shouldn't keep
Using rain to symbolize cleansing away old, undesirable dreams.
These sentimental teardrops need to fall from time to time
Acknowledging the necessity for sentimental teardrops to fall occasionally.
Sometimes I try to be honest, without a doubt
Attempting to be honest but sometimes failing, experiencing doubt.
I try to tell the truth sometimes but the opposite comes out
Struggling with telling the truth, with unintended opposite outcomes.
Sometimes I want to make love, I won't deny it
Admitting a desire for intimacy and love.
Sometimes I want to talk dirty then feel embarrassed by it
Expressing discomfort or embarrassment after wanting to talk dirty.
Sometimes I want to freak out, I want to be numb
Feeling the urge to freak out and experience numbness.
Sometimes I feel so angry, but not at anyone
Experiencing anger without a specific target.
And if a sentimental teardrop is running down my cheek
Describing the holding back of emotions like a rain cloud.
I'm holding back a rain cloud that needs to be released
Reiterating the need to release emotions with the metaphor of rain falling.
I like to hear the rain fall, it helps me go to sleep
Finding comfort in the sound of rain before sleep.
To wash away those old dreams I shouldn't keep
Using rain to symbolize washing away unwanted dreams.
These sentimental teardrops need to fall from time to time
Reiterating the periodic necessity of sentimental teardrops.
Sometimes I want to be famous but I don't want to try
Expressing a desire for fame without the willingness to try hard for it.
I can't help but be lazy, hey maybe that's why
Admitting to laziness as a possible reason for not achieving certain goals.
Sometimes I want to be modest, civil and restrained
Expressing a desire for modesty, civility, and restraint at times.
Sometimes I want to go naked and not feel ashamed
Contrasting modesty with a desire to be uninhibited and free, even naked.
I get so tired of being quiet, I want to yell
Expressing fatigue from being quiet and a wish to yell or be vocal.
Sometimes I want to know how it feels to be somebody else
Expressing curiosity about experiencing life from someone else's perspective.
And if a sentimental teardrop is running down my cheek
Describing the suppression of emotions with a sentimental teardrop.
I'm holding back a rain cloud that needs to be released
Reiterating the need to release emotions with the metaphor of a rain cloud.
I love to hear the rain fall, it helps me go to sleep
Expressing enjoyment of the calming sound of rain before sleep.
To wash away those old dreams I shouldn't keep
Using rain to symbolize cleansing away old dreams that shouldn't be kept.
These sentimental teardrops need to fall from time to time
Reiterating the periodic necessity of sentimental teardrops.
These sentimental teardrops need to fall from time to time
