Trading Away

from Impossible Things by New People

/

lyrics

One leads to another
And the passing of days
Not as easily lived through
As they’re traded away

When you struck out in anger
When you were silent and cold
When you were walking with eyes closed
Where did you think you it would go?

One thing led to another
Another led you astray
But you were left where you're standing
With no reason to stay

When you’re pushing words at them
They don’t believe what you say
Can’t you see it their eyes?
As they’re backing away

Twisted up like an oak tree
Standing in open air
It's like your trapped beneath something heavy
That’s no longer there

One thing leads to another
Another leads you astray
And you're left where you're standing
With no reason to stay

I guess you thought you’d have other days
You never knew that you were trading away
