lyrics

Sometime it seems like a whole lot of trouble
Not to run down the people in front of me
Sometimes I find it’s easier to fall
Sometimes I find it’s best to sit in the bleachers
And just take in the scene as it passes by
Children doing figure eights and all
Sometimes you want to sit back and observe
Sometimes you’re ready to go
Sometimes you feel like you get what you’re wishing for
Sometimes you don’t even know
Double blades for you, my beautiful daughter
Double blades across the lake
Double blades across the ancestral water
Double blades so you can skate
Sometimes it seems like the sled that you’re sliding on
Gets a little bit off track
Slips off the left or to the right
Sometimes I dream that the bike that you’re riding on
Gets a little too far ahead of me
Slips around the corner out of sight
Sometimes you want to sit back and observe
Sometimes you’re ready to go
Sometimes you feel like you get what you’re wishing for
Sometimes you don’t even know
Double blades for you, my beautiful daughter
Double blades across the lake
Double blades across the ancestral water
Double blades so you can skate
And dreams come true
And dreams come true
Sometimes you wish for a heart-covered spy-scope
And you throw your coin into the wishing well
Sometimes the order doesn’t seem so tall
Sometimes I can’t even find one at Walmart
Or in any old drugstore in Keyser
Sometimes I can’t even find one at the mall
Sometimes you want to sit back and observe
Sometimes you’re ready to go
Sometimes you’re wishing for clear skies and sunshine
Sometimes you’re wishing for snow

Anchored by the unique harmonies of Christina Bulbenko and Rex Broome, The Armoires present a tapestry of jangling guitar, keyboard and viola framing songs that evoke LA forerunners from The Byrds to X and the Paisley Underground, with a lyrical sensibility that is all their own. ... more
