Expectations Lyrics by Neive Strang

Expectations - EP

2018

[Verse 1]
Taken in a way where our minds were left unspoken, taken in a way so untrue
I built you up to the ultimate expectation, an expectation you couldn’t fit into

I wanted the world of you
But I want the world for you

I rue the day that I laid eyes on you, cause now lies a fantasy I can’t unsee

[Chorus]
We know how it goes, we can’t undo it
I don’t need the words, you beat me to it
Round and round

We know how it goes, we can’t undo it
I don’t need the words, you beat me to it
Round and round

[Verse 2]
You filled the space in my imagination, there’s not much you can do When the mind gets away
I let your eyes up under my skin, came out of my corner to let you in

I wanted the world of you
But I want the world for you

I built you up to the ultimate expectation, an expectation you couldn’t fit into

[Chorus]
We know how it goes, we can’t undo it
I don’t need the words, you beat me to it
Round and round

We know how it goes, we can’t undo it
I don’t need the words, you beat me to it
Round and round

We know how it goes, we can’t undo it
I don’t need the words, you beat me to it
Round and round
