Offguard Lyrics by Thomas Frederick

Archive

2018

[Verse 1]
The reality of the situation is only just settlling
And I'm looking back on the wasted time and regretting
Not taking advantage of the opportunities
That cannot be recovered
And so my buried feelings can't remian undiscovered

[Pre-Chorus 1]
My spirits are slowly, surely sinking
Because I'm obsessing, over-thinking
Analysing the finest details
Until my ego fails

[Chorus]
Because I didn't think it would hit the hard
And everyone can see that I've been caught offguard
Because I've played it cool for months
But now it all falls down
Leading up to the moment when I leave this town

[Verse 2]
I could apologise and try to mend the bonds that I've broken
Now that this gnawing feeling in my heart has been awoken
And I could swallow my pride and admit that I was such a fool
But you know I'll never recognise that I've been cruel

[Pre-Chorus 2]
My worries are bubbling, a troubling tower
I've tried to demolish it with all my power
But I can't defeat this doubt that's building
When I've spent the summer being so unyielding

[Chorus]
I didn't think it would hit the hard
And everyone can see that I've been caught offguard
Because I've played it cool for months
But now it all falls down
Leading up to the moment when I leave this town

[Bridge]
Oh, all my friends had made predictions
That have turned out to be true
Back then I had conviction
That I wouldn't abandon you

But all my hopes and dreams and deep desires
Are coming into view
And so it seems that I'm excited
To move on and start anew

[Chorus]
But I didn't think it would hit the hard
And everyone can see that I've been caught offguard
Because I've played it cool for months
But now it all falls down
Leading up to the moment when I leave this town
