Hidden In Open Grounds - Lecu

Send it out to the boy in the front row Singing his heart out I've been there before Elbow to elbow lost in a crowd Of screams, he dreams and knows They'll steal every word straight from your mouth Dare you to breath, we'll dare you to drown It's over, just wake me when it's over I will thank you for hanging around this town It's a long way back home from here Just tell me what you want 'Cause I'm over it now, but I'm not done Overreacting, 'cause I'm not acting like I'm somebody else 'Cause that's not me, oh, no Back it up to three long years ago To a little town in north Jersey I was a teenager back then Dreaming of a big dream to make it Put your hands on my heart Come on, put your faith in me Lay your life on the line and just believe It's a long way back home from here Just tell me what you want 'Cause I'm over it now, but I'm not done Overreacting, 'cause I'm not acting like I'm somebody else This is my inspiration Yeah, I'll never meet your expectations coming down on me Still I'm not giving in, no It's getting hard to breathe Under pressure I'm living I'm ready to be me Not turning back around (around, around) We only get one chance, one true shot to make it Hold the wind in your sails and take it For a ride, you can't turn back the time Hold on tight We'll make it now (we'll make it now) We'll make it count (we'll make it count) It's a long way back home from here Just tell me what you want 'Cause I'm over and out, but I'm not done Overreacting

We were playing in the sand And you found a little band You said that you fell in love with it Hadn't gone as I planned When you had to bid adieu You said you'd never love anew I thought that I'd try to hold it, and fall in love with it too You told me to buy a pony, but all I wanted was you I remember you that day I couldn't bear to look away I sat there entranced, entangled in every word that you'd say But every night must have a dawn And friend, these nights aren't very long And so when I finally blinked, and I realized you were gone Instead of finding you, I went home to write you a song It was sorrowful and stark But it always seemed to miss the mark Every goddamn lyric seemed to be twisted, creepy and dark And once resentment settled down I thought I'd finally fucking settled on a sound But each and every melody that I heard would make my head pound Oh, I can't seem to separate the confusing from the profound We were playing in the sand And I extended you a hand You said that you'd rather die than be seen with me as your man At least that's what I was convinced And the pain's resounded ever since But maybe it's simply that when I took my shot I missed You know what they say, at the end of the day indifference is bliss
