Against The Grain

I saw the things that could be
 And now they're gone to stay
 You know that I can't take this
 I can't watch this go away
 
It's not the things you told me
 It's not the times you stayed
 I know I fucked up
 I can't make this go away
 
She needs a break
 Things gone astray
 Against the grain
 
It wasn't what it should be
 It wasn't all the ways
 I learnt to watch what's coming
 Now I know it comes my way
 
At times we lost it all
 And all the times we've went astray
 We knew that we fucked up
 And now I know there's just no way
 
She needs a break
 Things gone astray
 Against the grain
 
I've counted
 I've counted all the ways
 It's spinning heads today
 You say there is no way
 It works against the grain
 
I saw the things that could be
 And now they're gone to stay
 You knew that I can't take this
 I can't watch this float away
 It's not the things you told me
 It's not the times you stayed
 I know I fucked up, I can't make this go away
 
She needs a break
 Things gone astray
 Against the grain
 
I've counted
 I've counted all the ways
 It's spinning heads today
 You say there is no way
 It works against the grain
