Lyrics
0:15When I was a kid the things I did were hidden under the grid
0:19Young and naive I never believed that love could be so well hid
0:23With regret I'm willing to bet and say the older you get
0:27It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget
0:31It gets under your shirt like a dagger at work
0:35The first cut is the deepest but the rest still ******* hurt
0:39You build your heart of plastic
0:41Get cynical and sarcastic
0:43And end up in the corner on your own
0:46'Cos I'd love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection
0:50I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
0:54I thought I was close but under further inspection
0:58It seems I've been running in the wrong direction oh no
1:16So what's the point in getting your hopes up
1:19All you're ever getting is choked up
1:21When you're coked up
1:22And can't remember the reason why you broke up
1:24You call her in the morning
1:26When you're coming down and falling
1:28Like an old man on the side of the road
1:32'Cos when you're apart you don't want to mingle
1:34When you're together you want to be single
1:36The chase to taste the kiss of bliss
1:38That made your heart tingle
1:40How much greener the grass is
1:42With those rose tinted glasses
1:43But the butterflies they flutter by and leave us on our arses
1:47'Cos I'd love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection
1:51I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
1:55I thought I was close but under further inspection
1:59It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
2:03There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection
2:07I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection
2:11'Cos all I want to do is try to make a connection
2:15It seems I've been running in the wrong direction oh no
2:22It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
2:30Yeah it seems I've been running in the wrong direction
2:38Yeah it seems I've been running in 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 ******* 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 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 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 no It seems I've been running in the wrong direction Yeah it seems I've been running in the wrong direction Yeah it seems I've been running in the wrong direction
