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 your
own
Cause 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
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 arses
Cause 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
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
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
