Mountain Of When - Amel Larrieux

Aim to be strong 
fiddle with an arrow 
the shot is too long 
precision is not in my marrow 
what's wrong 
with me contentedly singing my own song 
but not heard the music 

the writings' on the wall 
but I took the scenic route 
and I can't call 
the number's in the pocket of my jeans 
through it all 
talking the talk ,running before I walk 
missing the meaning 

[chorus]
plotting the course 
while i'm stuck at the bend 
penchant for rocky terrain and dead ends 
wind myself up just to unravel into a great, 
mountain of when 

should've is a place 
I sometimes frequent 
yet they know my face 
better at I can't 
but if there's a wait 
I will is close by and when stays open late, 
the menu is vast 

[chorus]

predicting the loss 
before I begin 
so it don't cut too deep 
when I don't win 
not like it's working 
for this clever lark 
I can recite the story 
behind every scar 
predicting the loss 
before I begin 
so it don't cut too deep 
when I don't win 
I hate it when i'm right 
much rather be wrong 
i'd rather be wrong 

[chorus]
