Song Lyrics

Ye, sometimes, it's just like
Sometimes, it's just like
(Etcetera, etcetera)
(Etcetera, etcetera)
Sometimes, it's just like
Sometimes, it's just like
(Etcetera, etcetera)
(Etcetera, etcetera)

Let go of the nonsense, all that you held
All that you know them
The echoes in your ear, oh, yeah
Let go of the nonsense, all that you held
That you know them
The voices in your ear
So, what will happen now that you have put us into this complete?
(Can you see what you're losing? What are you doing?)

Up in your feelings
Is it real or are you still dreaming?
(Can you see what you're losing? What life are you choosing?)
Mm, time is ticking, what you giving?
Shift your mind, move your spirit
What has arisen was your decision
Sticks and stones won't shake my vision
Shake it off, shake it off now
(Now is the time, now is the time)
Let it go, let it go now
(Now is the time, now is the time)
But you're not listening (oh)
I'ma pick your side (oh)
Contemplation (oh)
Look at those signs (oh)
What is your judgement? (Oh)
Tell me if it's true (oh)
Is it fact or fiction? (Oh)
What's your position? (Oh)

Sometimes, it's just life
Sometimes, it's just life, yeah
(Etcetera, etcetera) yeah
(Etcetera, etcetera)
Sometimes, it's just life
Sometimes, it's just life
(Etcetera, etcetera) whoa
(Etcetera, etcetera)

Man, let go of the nonsense, all that you held
'Cause you know them
The echoes in your ear
Let go of the nonsense, all that you held
Yes, you know them
The voices in the air

Yeah, sometimes, it's just like
Sometimes, it's just like, like
(Etcetera, etcetera)
(Etcetera, etcetera)
Sometimes, it's just like
Sometimes, it's just like, yeah
(Etcetera, etcetera)
(Etcetera, etcetera)

Let go of the nonsense, all that you held
Yes, you know them
Echoes in your ear, oh, yeah
I said let go of the nonsense, all that you held
Yes, you know them
The voices in your ear

Wayne Shorter
