lyrics

Abstract terms are what I’ve been speaking in
I guess some things are harder to talk about than I thought they’d be
Yet I never seem to get past the point of a quivering lip and a lump in my throat these days
It’s not a case of being dead inside
Just partially desensitised

You said you’re always either drunk and in love or sober and awkward and feeling let down by yourself
And that living this way just takes up so much time
I know I always sound so insincere and make a joke out of everything
But I meant it when I said

No more making arrangements with cracks in the pavement
No need to go back there
You don’t need to go back there

And if you end up half-dead in a hospital bed
You can still make plans from there
I’ll drop by empty handed apart from the details of dreams from a dental chair
Then I’ll go back to a life of absenteeism and claims of being snowed under
I’ll thaw out by the time you’re better

I won’t care about the cracks in my skin
You won’t care about the cracks in yours
And you won’t see those cracks in the pavement
No more cracks in the pavement
I won’t trade sleep for thoughts of something more
And you won’t see those cracks in the pavement
No more cracks in the pavement
We won’t give up when the world’s being unkind
And you won’t see those cracks in the pavement
No more cracks in the pavement.

Wrong Life image

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
