lyrics

"The Wrong Here"

Feeling tired;
The dark delayed the foul.
"Oh, won't you come into town?
The wait is over now."
But they don't know
In truth I don't belong.
"Oh, won't you divvy the sun?
My fear is that the rain means it's gone."

My shame is aversion undone to know
This life was more than meaningful once, and
Those who live in the sun don't need to cry
When the last of you gets carried away.

"Oh, won't you open your heart?
All of us here know that it's hard."
So long ago,
In time we all dispel.
"Oh, won't your sympathy wail?
You know we'd lose the light without the rails."

My shame is aversion undone to know
This life was more than meaningful once, and
Those who live in the sun don't need to shine
When the last of you gets carried away.
You'll be the sign
Who could never befall. I want to
Make it up when it's time,
Though I'll never resign to see your soul.

"Oh, won't you empty your might?
Part of my fear is if you're right."
And I won't get stuck in a past,
Or let the fear in my heart keep stirring
Impeding all my plans for life.

My shame is aversion undone to know
This life was more than meaningful once, and
Those who live in the sun don't see the light
When the last of you gets carried away.
You'll be the sign
Who could never befall. I want to
Make it up when it's time,
Though I'll never resign to see your soul.

Put all of your love to the back of my heart
For keeping the past and the present apart.
And wave goodbye to move on.
I wave goodbye to move on.
