Unexpected Places
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't try to tell me you've been looking at me
Cause I've been looking at you
And I can read what you think
Don't cut no corners when you're talking to me
Like I don't know how it is but I can see it
You've got no answers but you've got your concerns
About the people we see
And all the secrets we're keeping
I think about what you're expecting of me
Like you don't know how it is but I can see it
Like we always have to wait
By the choices we had to make
And you sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on
In the most unexpected places
Don't try to tell me you've been thinking of us
Cause I will never believe you
Now you're shit out of luck
Don't cut no corners when you're talking to me
Like I don't know how it is but I can see all of it
That we always have to wait
By the choice we have to make
And you sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on
In the most unexpected places
I see
We always have them caged
By the choices that we make
You sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on
In the most unexpected places
I see changes
In the most unexpected faces
I see changes
Chained to the chains of it
That we always have to wait
By the choices that we made
You sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on
In the most unexpected places
I see changes
We always have been caged
By the choices that we made
We sold ourselves so short
Is this the way to carry on
Is this the way to carry on
Is this the way to carry on
Is this the way to carry on
Is this the way to carry on
Is this the way to carry on
