The Wrong Direction - Passenger
When I was a kid the things I did were hidden under the grid
Young and naive I never believed
That love could be so well hid
With regret I'm willing to bet
You say the older you get
It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget
It gets under your shirt like a dagger or work
The first cut is the deepest
But the rest will flippin' hurt
You build your heart of plastic
Get cynical and sarcastic
And end up in the corner on your own
'Cause I love to feel love
But can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close
But under further inspection
It seems I've been running
In the wrong direction
Oh no
So what's the point in
Getting your hopes up
When all you're ever
Getting is choked up
When you're coked up
And can't remember the reason
Why you broke up
You call her in the morning
When you're coming down and falling
Like an old man on the side of the road
'Cause when you're apart you
Don't want to mingle
When you're together you want to be single
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss
That made your heart tingle
How much greener the grass is
With those rose tinted glasses
But the butterflies they flutter by
And leave us on our asses
'Cause I love to feel love
But I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes
As a form of protection
I thought I was close
But under further inspection
It seems I've been running
In the wrong direction
There's fish in the sea for me
To make a selection
I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection
'Cause all I want to do is try
To make a connection
But it seems I've been running
In the wrong direction
Oh oh
Oh oh I love to feel love
But I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close but under further inspection
It seems I've been running
In the wrong direction
I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes
As a form of protection
And I thought I was close
But under further inspection
It seems I've been running
In the wrong direction
Oh oh
Seems like I'm running
In the wrong direction
Oh oh
Seems like I'm running
In the wrong direction
Oh
Well it seems I've been running
In the wrong direction
Oh no
Seems like I've been running
In the wrong direction
Oh
