The Joy Formidable - The Wrong Side Lyrics

Is it dawn or is it dread
Waking up is just great
Stepping out into an early sun
what's new about today.
Well, the universe it tipped a bit &
left me with half a share
And the children are throwing rocks again
at the animals right there

And the voices from the past who say the future will be kinder
They live in all our memories, just some of us need reminding
I'm glad I didn't stay in bed in a bitter embrace
There's a fire that needs putting out with the sun on our faces

There go the followers
Right under our feet
Come back we'll be lovers
You're on the wrong side

Let's drive a bit on this dusty road
And wash the dirt away
We could be untouched, out here, happier than we've ever been
But that thorn in your heart it hurts me too
I'm bending in a different way and all of its for you
There's a place coming up ahead
Let's stop and play a game
You guess which way is back and I'll guess when we're leaving
There's always a way out
You think that would make us love
If you can't see that you have it all, it won't hurt to give it up.

There go the followers
Right under our feet
Come back you missed the best part
on the wrong side of me.
