Passenger - The wrong direction
When I was a kid the things I did were hidden under the gridYoung and naive I never believed that love could be so well hidWith regret I'm willing to bet and say the older you getIt gets harder to forgive and harder to forgetIt gets under your shirt like a dagger at workThe first cut is the deepest but the rest still flipping hurtYou build your heart of plasticGet cynical and sarcasticAnd end up in the corner on your ownCause I'd love to feel love but I can't stand the rejectionI hide behind my jokes as a form of protectionI thought I was close but under further inspectionIt seems I've been running in the wrong direction oh noSo what's the point in getting your hopes upWhen all you're ever getting is choked upWhen you're coked upAnd can't remember the reason why you broke upYou call her in the morningWhen you're coming down and falling like an old man on the side of the roadCause when you're apart you don't want to mingleWhen you're together you want to be singleEver the chase to taste the kiss of blissThat made your heart tingleHow much greener the grass isWith those rose tinted glassesBut the butterflies they flutter by and leave us on our arsesCause I'd love to feel love but I can't stand the rejectionI hide behind my jokes as a form of protectionI thought I was close but under further inspectionIt seems I've been running in the wrong directionThere's fish in the sea for me to make a selectionI'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infectionCause all I want to do is try to make a connectionIt seems I've been running in the wrong direction ohOh I'd love to feel love but I can't stand the rejectionI hide behind my jokes as a form of protectionI thought I was close but under further inspectionIt seems I've been running in the wrong directionI'd love to feel love but I can't stand the rejectionI hide behind my jokes as a form of protectionI thought I was close but under further inspectionIt seems I've been running in the wrong direction ohhIt seems like I'm running in the wrong direction ohhSeems like I'm running in the wrong direction ohhWell it seems I've been running in the wrong direction oh noSeems I've been running in the wrong direction
