lyrics

The same sense of dread against a different background
The same off-key dreams oscillate the same sound
Oh, what a time to be sober!
Oh, what a time to be bitter!
Simply in regards to the way the world works
But there’s no time to feel lonely
There’s no time for what ifs and if onlys
Only time to kill till this all blows over

So I’ll wait here on my own
On the bench at the end of Whitehouse Loan
Scrolling through notes on my phone
Sentimental for a life lived inside my mind

When I look up you appear on the other side of the road
Smiling and poking holes in the lines I couldn’t bring myself to sing
They were just too hard to sing
I wish you didn’t have to go
but the light bleeding out from the side of your skull highlights the hope in everything
Hope is everything

And I hope one day you’ll see that those words have become obsolete
And the blood on my feet dried up long before I called asking for more

That last life was vicious, but not enough to make me religious
Or enough to forget that you’re out there somewhere
When I’m suspended in dead air
You’re the sound I need and you come from nowhere

Constantly in awe of the way your mind works.

Wrong Life Edinburgh, UK

I'm Fraser. I play music under the name Wrong Life. I tried fooling people into thinking it was a proper full band with a somewhat steady line-up but it didn't work, so here we are.

"... somewhere in between heartfelt, life-affirming contemporary pop-punk and smart indie-rock of the ‘90s and early ‘00s." - Keep Track of the Time

"Emo-ish punky bullshit." - me
