Passenger - The Wrong Direction lyrics

rate me

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
