The Way I Tend To Be - Frank Turner

Some mornings I pray for evening

For the day to be done

Some summer days I hide away

And pray for rain to come

It turns out hell will not be found

Within the fires below

But in making do and muddling through

When you've nowhere else to go

But then I remember you

And the way you shine like truth in all you do

And if you remembered me

You could save me from the way I tend to be

The way I tend to be

Some days I wake up dazed my dear

And I don't know where I am

I've been running now so long I'm scared

I've forgotten how to stand

I stand alone in airport bars

And gather thoughts to think:

That if all I had was one long road

It could drive a man to drink

But then I remember you

And the way you shine like truth in all you do

And if you remembered me

You could save me from the way I tend to be

Because I've said I love you so many times that the words kinda die in my mouth

And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never works out

You stood apart in my calloused heart and you taught me and here's what I learned:

That love is about the changes you make and not just three small words

And then I catch myself

Catching your scent on someone else

In a crowded space

And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place

But then I remember you

And the way you shine like truth in all you do

And if you remembered me

You could save me from the way I tend to be

The way I tend to be

The way I tend to be

The way I tend to be
