Upper Hand Songtext
von DeFord

Checked out of reality
Left town still a slave to the gravity with
No friends to be proud of me
When I bid farewell to the man
I don′t know how to be
Leave me tongue-tied
'Til there′s no one else around
On the outside looking down

'Cause expectations are the death of making plans
Not my nature but I'll try the best I can
And I′ll be waiting ′til I have the upper hand
How long how long?
I thought that explanations were the way to break loose ends
Lost all patience
But I hope you understand
I'll be waiting ′til I have the upper hand
How long how long?


And I'm better off losing my grip ′til the world says I'm worthy
But if I gotta keep living like this I′m gonna die when I'm thirty
But if it's not that bad
I won′t treat it like a problem
When it′s the best I've had
I′ve got no reason to solve 'em
I guess that much is plain to see
Out of orbit and revolving around you
Living in third person view

′Cause expectations are the death of making plans
I might hate you but I always try again
And I'll be waiting ′til I have the upper hand
How long how long?
I thought that explanations were the way to break loose ends
Lost all patience but I hope you understand
I'll be waiting 'til I have the upper hand
How long how long?

I know I′m one to make way too much out of nothing
And maybe I′m afraid I'll admit either one
But I just wanna feel like I′m fiending for something
Whether it's forgiveness or closure or blood

How long how long?
Gonna die when i′m thirty
How long how long?
Now nobody can hurt me
How long how long?
Got no reason to solve 'em
How long How


Expectations are the reason we′re both wrong
You're not perfect but I guess I'll play along
And I′ll be waiting even if it takes me all
Night long night long
