Wrong Direction Lyrics - All The Little Lights - 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, 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 

'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 

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 

'Cos all I want to do is try to make a connection 

It seems I've been running in the wrong direction 

Oh 

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, oh
