Wrong Horizon

“Wrong Horizon”
© Collin Brown (C. Scott)

Verse 1:
I’ve been waiting for a sign to set me off
I’ve been waiting for someone to let me off the hook for a risk I never took
I’ve been waiting for a friend to say “it’s all okay”
“They’ve got the game rigged anyway”, but no
Got no excuses left to go
So tell me, truly, have I been living freely?
Or am I

Chorus:
Heartbroke chasing down the wrong horizon?
I’m living without hope but not even prepared to try it
Is it any wonder that I feel I’ve got nothing to say?

Verse 2:
Tie your boots pay your dues drink your dreams away
Play the blues win or lose but I just lead myself astray
That’s why you’ll never know my name
Used to be we had plans but we just gave them up
Nowadays face the truth even if we made it up
How the hell did we get stuck?
So tell me truly have I been living freely?
Or am I

Chorus:
Heartbroke chasing down the wrong horizon?
I’m living without hope and not even prepared to try it
Is it any wonder that I feel I’ve got nothing to say?

Bridge:
And I feel like I’m building on a lost foundation
Bricks and the mortar take a different toll
Tired of looking back with a forward motion
Face every morning just to see it all unfold

Chorus:
And now I’m heartbroke chasing down the wrong horizon
I’m living without hope not even prepared to try it
Just living heartbroke chasing down the wrong horizon
I’m living without hope but not even prepared to try it
Is it any wonder that I feel I’ve got nothing to say?
