Текст песни Passenger - The Wrong Direction

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 and say the older you get
 it gets harder to forgive and harder to forget
 it gets under your shirt like a dagger at work
 the first cut is the deepest but the rest still flipping hurt
 you build your heart of plastic
 get cynical and sarcastic
 and end up in the corner on you’re own

cos i’d 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 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
 cos 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 arses

cos i’d love to feel love but i can’t stand the rejection
 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
 cos all i want to do is try to make a connection
 it seems i’ve been running in the wrong direction oh

oh i’d 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’d 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 ohh
 it seems like i’m running in the wrong direction ohh
 seems like i’m running in the wrong direction ohh
 well it seems i’ve been running in the wrong direction oh no
 seems i’ve been running in the wrong direction
