Analysis of Sometimes
Sometimes the past is something we wanna hold on to
Because letting it go seems the hardest thing to do.
Sometimes we are removed from our comfort zone
And put in a new place where we struggle to belong.
Sometimes we wish things weren't as they are now
And we would love to go back to fix and change things around.
Sometimes are eyes are looking at the past behind us when instead
They should be looking forward to what's ahead.
