lyrics

What’s Wrong with the World

I took the bridge
To the edge of the world
Then I sat there and waited for you
I wrote you a song
Cause my hope is not gone
That someday I will sing it with you

I’ll take the time
And I’ll wait on the line
I’m a fool left alone in the dark
Cause life doesn’t mean that much to me
Without you there’s nowhere to start
I don’t know where to start

What’s wrong with the world
When a man can’t love a woman back
You try to escape all his wonderful ways
And there’s nothing you can do about that
You’re tied to the days
And you can’t stop the chase
From your mind he will not depart
Cause you built him a home
And places to roam
In the real estate of your heart

So I wish every night
Upon the stars in the sky
That maybe you could hear me somehow
And if I tried hard enough
And I didn’t give up
That someday you might come around
Won’t you come around?

What’s wrong with the world
When a man can’t love a woman back
You try to escape all his wonderful ways
And there’s nothing you can do about that
You’re tied to the days
And you can’t stop the chase
From your mind he will not depart
Cause you built him a home
And places to roam
In the real estate of your heart

On a good day
I can feel you coming through
On a bad day it all disappears
Won’t you come here?

What’s wrong with the world
When a man can’t love a woman back
You try to escape all his wonderful ways
And there’s nothing you can do about that
You’re tied to the days
And you can’t stop the chase
From your mind he will not depart
Cause you built him a home
And places to roam
In the real estate of your heart
