Set Me In Motion Lyrics by The Graduate

Every Other Time: B​-​sides from Only Every Time

2011

[Verse 1]
Am I just a lonely wolf you hide under your bed
Far away from your friends?
You keep me dry as a bone
Just a ghost on the telephone
Far away from home
Won't you talk to me until I fall asleep and come for me?
[Chorus]
You set me in motion, but you lead me astray
I'm still running backwards
But I know that I can change my ways
[Verse 2]
Fully drunk on prison wine
Take two steps at a time, but never cross that line
And the way you hold me back is more than I can bear
Hands pulling through my hair
So love me up against your bedroom wall or let me be
[Chorus]
You set me in motion, but you lead me astray
I'm still running backwards
But I know that I can change my ways
[Bright]
You make it easy so I don't feel so ashamed
You spread your love around
The moment that I feel safe
You always turn me on and then you go and turn me out
Still running backwards, but I know that I can change
[Chorus]
You set me in motion, but you lead me astray
I'm still running backwards
But I know that I can change
Still running backwards
But I know that I can change my ways
