The Wish You Weres - Born Again Lyrics

My parents raised me the best they could
but somewhere along the line i came out misunderstood
growing up this way was never part of my plan
but it's a long strange road to becoming a man

i tried to do all the right things
and made all the wrong turns (wrong turns)
its hard living with your mistakes
but somehow you gotta learn (gotta learn)

I'm never gonna figure it out,
what this f*cking life's about
i die over and over till the end
and in the morning I'll be born again (i'll be born again)

my parents were holy, they were heaven bound
and playing Rock & Roll just wasn't allowed
so i stayed up nights glued to my headphones
but there was something lacking on the radio

so i picked up my guitar and
started writing my own songs (own songs)
and it took a while but i finally
found where i belong (i belong)

I'm never gonna figure it out,
what this f*cking life's about
i die over and over till the end
and in the morning I'll be born again (i'll be born again)

i was never taught
to follow my dreams
so i gave up on them
but they didn't give up on me

thought it'd be all cool when i got out on my own
but trying to feed you kids takes on a weight of it's own
slaved away for years while it ate at me
but i wasn't meant to burn out in some factory

if you wanna be happy you
gotta stick with what you know (what ya know)
if you follow your heart it
will always lead to back to home (back to home)

I'm never gonna figure it out,
what this f*cking life's about
i die over and over till the end
and in the morning I'll be born again (i'll be born again)
