I Always Wanted It This Way
Page McConnell
[Verse 1]
As I found out that I
Had a lot to learn
It turns out the tide
Had to take its turn
The line we had drawn
Wasn't straight enough
Though timelines were burned
We rebuilt the trust
[Chorus 1]
I always wanted it this way
I always hoped it'd be this way
[Verse 2]
I shielded my heart
To make sense of this
The time spent apart
That my conscience missed
My mind wandered thoughtlessly
In that land
Of uncertainty
[Chorus 2]
I always wanted it this way
I always wanted it this way
[Verse 3]
I've stayed
At my station on the scene
And frayed
Like the circuits in between
And played as the part of a machine
And I find out that I
Had my mind to learn
