Sometimes a nevermind is
The limelight where the power lines bend
And other times that otherwise end
Well sometimes when

And who am I to wonder what it meant
to decide the candlelight's glint
Tonight as the underside spins
Well who am I when

Once in awhile the moment requires
So everyone says
A bitter denial and shoving aside
Of all the pretense
We seldom decide to acknowledge the quiet
And it might as well pass
'Cause once in awhile the moment requires all of this

Somehow we figured out when
To cry out and tumble down dead
Anyhow its a roundabout end
Well somehow when

Once in awhile the moment requires
So everyone says
A bitter denial and shoving aside
Of all the pretense
We seldom decide to acknowledge the quiet
And it might as well pass
'Cause once in awhile the moment requires all of this
