Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I Knew I must have been mistaken,
Felt like everyday I was dying.
I could speak to you one word
And you would start to cry
And all my songs were just a poem,
And my truth was just a lie
You’re better off misunderstanding, than never asking her why.
[Verse 2]
And with just an ounce of empathy I’d knew we’d seen it all
As I cut into a piece of you, the apple turned to fall.
As if I’d known that I’d be better off before I drew that line
I wouldn’t have sold you all my recipes and cashed you in on time
[Chorus]
But you say to me;
It’s just the end of an era
The end of the way it used to be
And I say to you;
Walk your dog
Build a home
Bend the lines
And never lose your head
Na Na Na Na – Na Na Na
[Verse 3]
And I know that caution don’t come easy to a poor boy on a plane
And as if burned up was better than slowly fading away
And as if all the dumb cliche had finally found their tune
We’d be singing til the morning and barking at the moon
[Verse 4]
And maybe Jesus walked on broken bones if he ever walked at all
Or could his time just be a metaphor for us slowly growing older?
I’ve been counting all my mornings, dividing up my days
I’ve been in search of one of everything that makes me feel OK.
[Chorus]
But you say to me;
It’s just the end of the world
The end of the way it used to be
And I say to you,
May the lines bring you space
May the change always be in your favor
Na Na Na Na- Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na- Na Na Na
[Verse 5]
I Knew I must have been mistaken,
Felt like everyday I was dying.
I could speak to you one word
And you would start to cry
And my songs were just a poem,
And my truth was just a lie
You’re better off misunderstanding, than never asking her why.
