All I Ever Knew Was Wrong

lyrics

I used to think I knew the answers
Now I can’t be quite so sure
These billboards sell nothingness, from the highways they blow a kiss
All the exit signs start to blur
I want to get off, I’m tired of trying
And waking up in this ghost town dream
I want to get off, I’m tired of lying
To this holy rolling, god fearing machine

How many roads can one man follow, how many truths can one man swallow
How many times can he sing the same sad song?
How many lies will I believe before I finally see
All I ever knew was wrong

I used to wait, I used to count the hours
I used to think that time would not pass me by
But all the corners in all these towns among all these roads that circle around
Are looking back at me as they wave goodbye
Where to next, I need to understand
Why tomorrow looks just like the day before
What’s the world got left, I need to know
Tell me what the hell the world’s got in store

How many roads can one man follow, how many truths can one man swallow
How many times can he sing the same sad song?
How many lies will I believe before I finally see
All I ever knew

Can disappear
And fall behind
Maybe I’m not here
I’m in another life
All is quiet
All is calm
All I’ve known
Has all been wrong

How many years can one man wait before it’s too late
And tomorrow’s gone?
How many roads can one man follow, how many truths can one man swallow
How many times can he sing the same sad song?
How many lies will I believe before I finally see
All I ever knew was wrong
All I ever knew was wrong
