lyrics

so I've been looking for her and they say she's gone away
but it's like I could have found her if I'd shown up yesterday
as such I'm left here just to wonder would I ever have gone
the doubt compounds doubt compounds still I'm sure that I'm not wrong
I'm not wrong

this place it holds no answers from this week or yesteryear
there's a vestige of the scent given off by a soul in fear
that soul though I can't find now and I can't accept it's gone
it shouldn't be this way it makes me feel that life's all wrong
life's all wrong

woke up early I was born too late
just a great big smile incarnate
stuck to principles by strict mandate
this great
what's wrong

is wrong a real thing or just the opposite of that
it shouldn't be this way well hell it is it's where we're at
and thus a question spoken to relate a sense of dread
is useless once you've come to see it's all in your head
in your head

why do you run I met you a day I thought that I would die
but I will walk on through alleviate and survive
but if you'd speak in calm tones and not that usual drone
I'd be more willing to believe this flight has flown
(but we can work it out)

woke up early I was born too great
my companion my soul mate
a better song so we can recreate
this great

woke up early I was born to fate
as a helping hand if not to obfuscate
you and I sprinkled in no where we complicate
this great
what's wrong

I get lost in the shuffle of the thousands of papers
used to write me off
no but truthfully now was anything ever as good
as the wrath of the young and misunderstood

convinced that everything's going wrong
everything's so fucking wrong
am I wrong or can't I see
am I wrong or can't you see
what can't you see

write this song down on your piece of paper
and if you ever see that girl do me one big favor
and explain how much we love her and I'll be back to save her
if I can read what I wrote on this piece of paper

one more blank page a blank curse the faithful
all and all of my hope the great big savior
now I give you my heart my bones and labor
if you'd read what I wrote on this piece of paper

one more blank page a blank curse the faithful
all and all of my hope the great big savior
now I give you my time by bones and labor
just believe what I wrote on this piece of paper
