Great Expectations Songtext
von The New Year

When I was younger
I never wondered
About the ways I was trapped
I thought I was moving
My skin was improving
On my face and on my back
But the one thing I never lacked
Is the faith you′d always come back
How could I have been so wrong


Ten years later
I'm no more a savior
I still can′t convince the dead not to die
I thought I was growing
My age has been showing
Is that just a way that age can lie?
What led me to feel so secure
This was the one thing we couldn't have ensured
How could we have been so wrong
And as I get older

Should I get bolder
Or will disappointment be even worse
And once I start shrinking
Will I start thinking
That expectations never die
