You Were Wrong

Look how far I’ve come
You were wrong to leave me alone
Don’t you dare hold my hand
You were wrong to leave me alone
So you heard all about me and you didn’t ask, yeah?
Let’s hope you ain’t sleeping in the second half
Maybe deep down you get it
Maybe only God knows
And what’s with all these pretenses?
I really wanna, do the work and let it grow now
Coz we’ve got a lot to show
Whether or not you try to stop it
Oh, out of sight, out of mind
It never mattered
If you can get ‘em on your side
That’s all that matters, yeah
Look how far I’ve come
You were wrong to leave me alone
Don’t you dare hold my hand
You were wrong to leave me alone
Look how far I’ve come
You were wrong to leave me alone
If you’re scared, hold my hand
You were wrong to leave me alone
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ooooh I think you better, move on and let it go now
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ooooh I think you better, move slow and let it grow now
I can’t pretend I didn’t sit around and wait
Had my head screwed on backwards trying to find a way out
But I can see clearly now
And I’m astounded
Try to stay grounded but…
You were wrong about me
You were wrong about me
Look how far I’ve come
You were wrong to leave me alone
Don’t you dare hold my hand
You were wrong to leave me alone
Look how far I’ve come
You were wrong to leave me alone
If you’re scared, hold my hand
You were wrong to leave me alone

Tethered

I can’t explain it
I’m ravenous for you once more
Even more than I was before
I’m done complaining
That I’m not where I should’ve been
When it was me that went missing
After all that we’ve been through
I’m holding onto you
I can’t explain it
I had two worlds I tried to meet
One behind my eyes and one beneath my feet
You were somewhere in between them
It’s too hard to believe that
You were too hard to see then
After all that we’ve been through
I'm holding onto you
(Instrumental)
After all that we’ve been through
I'm holding onto you

We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you hanging off us like a swing?
Why you hanging off us like a swing?
We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you turning on us like a switch?
Why you turning on us like a switch?
We got all this rage kept contained
Gotta let it out
But you’re thinking ‘bout your face
How to save it
It won’t work no more
We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you hanging off us like a swing?
Why you hanging off us like a swing?
Give up
Hold up
We’re waiting…
There’s a lot that you won’t understand
And you’re lucky ask
Don’t act surprised,
We’ve always been here
Working twice as hard
For half as much
Still, I’m the lucky one
it’s all in my head
You can’t say nothing no more
It’s all the same
If you don’t know by now, by now (x4 alone, x4 during last chorus)
We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you hanging off us like a swing?
Why you hanging off us like a swing?
We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you turning on us like a switch?
Why you turning on us like a switch?

The Difference
02:27
|

Won’t you stay with me in,
In this moment
I don’t know
What awaits for us on the other side
Era over
Tears fall down
Guessing rarely pays off
Just enter slowly
Shook from slumber
I’ll be yours
And the whole world starts to open up
Before and after
They look the same
I can’t tell the difference, anymore x2
Do I have a choice? Or am I destined to be this way
Do I have a voice? Or am I damned?
(Backing vocals: ‘I can’t tell the…’ ‘I can’t tell the difference’)

Painted Over
03:57
|

I’ll be on my way
I’ll be on my way
No more sitting in doubt, no
Take me home
‘Cause I can’t see
You beyond myself
When I look around
Sights remain unchanged
Life remains uncrowded
Remnants of a choice
Made by someone else
Painted over my way
I was skating across the ice in truants shoes
Googly eyes for all the forbidden fruit
So how’d it ever lead to you?
Now I can’t see you go
Don’t go!
(Chorus x2)
Backing vocal: ‘no more sitting, yeah, sitting in this doubt’
