Never thought I'd see the day
It would come to this
Sittin' all alone listenin' to the wind

I ought to fix that old screen door
A-creakin' in the bridge
Just like me, it's bound to come unhinged

And in the distance steeple
Church bells ring as if to say
Come on, ye people
There's a wedding here today

Oh, sometimes things happen way too fast
But when you try to reach for love
It's out of your grasp

Oh, sometimes it's over and
You can't even tell
But sometimes it's clear as a bell

We were only kids back then
And playin' grown up games
The consequences never crossed my mind

I should've seen the change in her
But by the time I did
She'd already left me way behind

Now in that far off chapel
Church bells ring for someone else
And though I hate to say it
I can only blame myself

Oh, sometimes things happen way too fast
And when you try to reach for love
It's out of your grasp

Oh, sometimes it's over and
You can't even tell
But sometimes it's clear as a bell

Sometimes it's over and
You can't even tell
Sometimes it's clear as a bell
Sometimes it's clear as a bell
