Unexpected Places Lyrics
Don't try to tell me you've been looking at me
'Cause I've been looking at you
And I can read what you think, yeah
Don't cut no corners when you're talking to me
Like I don't know how it is
But I can see it
You've got no answers
But you've got your concerns
About the people we see
And all the secrets we're keeping
I think about what you're expecting of me
Like you don't know how it is
But I can see all of it
How we always have to wait
By the choice we had to make
You sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on
In the most unexpected places?
Don't try to tell me you've been thinking of us
'Cause I will never believe
Now you're shit out of luck again
Don't cut no corners when you're talking to me
Like I don't know how it is
But I can see all of it
How we always have to wait
By the choice we had to make
You sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on?
In the most unexpected places
I see
We always have been caged
By the choices that we make
You sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on
In the most unexpected places?
I see changes
In the most unexpected faces
I see changes
Chained to the chains of it
We always have to wait
By the choices that we made
You sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on?
In the most unexpected places
I see changes
We always have been caged
By the choices that we made
We sold ourselves so short
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?
'Cause I've been looking at you
And I can read what you think, yeah
Don't cut no corners when you're talking to me
Like I don't know how it is
But I can see it
But you've got your concerns
About the people we see
And all the secrets we're keeping
I think about what you're expecting of me
Like you don't know how it is
But I can see all of it
By the choice we had to make
You sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on
In the most unexpected places?
'Cause I will never believe
Now you're shit out of luck again
Don't cut no corners when you're talking to me
Like I don't know how it is
But I can see all of it
By the choice we had to make
You sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on?
In the most unexpected places
I see
By the choices that we make
You sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on
In the most unexpected places?
I see changes
In the most unexpected faces
I see changes
Chained to the chains of it
By the choices that we made
You sold yourself so short
Is this the way to carry on?
In the most unexpected places
I see changes
By the choices that we made
We sold ourselves so short
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?
Is this the way to carry on?

Hey, PARALESS, this song does not suck! I'm not deaf. You are. This song is awesome. If you have something bad to say, at least say it in a more peaceful manner. Gawrsh, don't people have manners anymore? What if someone who was blind told you that you were ugly? Yeah. Bite that. Eat that. Suck that.
Burn.
Is this going to be on Santi? I've never heard it before...
awesome song..
awesome album in general.. really relatable
yes, it is on santi. and i honestly do not know about this album, but the first half of the song really is relatable. it reminded me of the end of the college application process and going to college, but i only think that's because of the position i'm in at the moment. i highly doubt that is what the song is really about. i think it's about decisions in general and having to stnd by them, even when we made an unfavourable choice. i think the ending relates back to once we've made the decision and whether or not we can fix it by taking a chance and making other choices or if we just have to tought it out and wait it out.
sounds something along the lines of a cheater in a relationship.
"Don't cut no corners when you're talking to me Like I don't know how it is but I can see it"
the girl thinks he is oblivious to what is going on, trying to coat it with lies. etc.
any other ideas?
probably my fave song on the new album :D
The way he sings a lot of this really reminds me of Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria for some reason. I think because of the way he throws in high pitched "yeahs" and "woahs" and "ohs" when he sings and has such unique enunciation.
he says forgot/forgotten/forget alot on this album, and he talks alot about making choices, or having a choice to be made.
Have you ever passed up an amazing event? Made the stupidest mistake ever? Want to go back in time and fix what you've done wrong? I think this is what this is about. That one choice we made that we just always want to go back and fix. It also talks about how we are judged by the choices we've made as well. Someone decides to drive after getting drunk, great person, great athlete, well liked, and he/she gets busted and the rest of their life is ruined, all because of that one choice. Our life is ruled by these choices "We always have been caged by the choices that we made."
