Direction Lyrics
Awwww,
Break down!
I was breaking sweats in the night-time
I was growing my hair
And I could not care
What they think
Cause my eyes were turned up
Like you tore open the ceiling
I've been singing songs in the night-time
I was banging my head
And I could not care
What they think
I should don't open the door
Even if you hear me screaming
I build a raft and got carried away
In my new direction
And there is where I stay
Well, you should have known
That this boy wasn't true
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave,
If you want to leave
Now get down!
I was catching glimpses of bright lights
And they attracted my steps
'Till I was so scared
Of what could be
Hidden underneath the rocks
So we're never in position
I've been singing songs of a rushed mind
I am still among friends
So I am not scared
Of anything
I said don't open the door
Even if you hear me screaming
I met a boy who got carried away
In my new direction
And there is where he stays
Well, you should have known
That this boy wasn't true
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave
And now don't you hide
'Cause you've got a treasure to find
So shed those leaves that you lie underneath (underneath)
And now don't you stray,
If you feel you've lost your way
Share this feeling that came over me (over me)
Break down!
I've been breaking sweats in the night-time
I was growing my hair
And I could not care
What they think
I said don't open the door
Even if you hear me screaming
I am the boy who got carried away
In my new direction
And there is where I stay
Well, you should have known
That this boy wasn't true
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave
If you want to leave
Oh, the whole world
Well, you should have known
That this boy wasn't true
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave
If you want to leave
Break down!
I was growing my hair
And I could not care
What they think
Cause my eyes were turned up
Like you tore open the ceiling
I've been singing songs in the night-time
I was banging my head
And I could not care
What they think
I should don't open the door
Even if you hear me screaming
In my new direction
And there is where I stay
Well, you should have known
That this boy wasn't true
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave,
If you want to leave
And they attracted my steps
'Till I was so scared
Of what could be
Hidden underneath the rocks
So we're never in position
I've been singing songs of a rushed mind
I am still among friends
So I am not scared
Of anything
I said don't open the door
Even if you hear me screaming
In my new direction
And there is where he stays
Well, you should have known
That this boy wasn't true
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave
'Cause you've got a treasure to find
So shed those leaves that you lie underneath (underneath)
And now don't you stray,
If you feel you've lost your way
Share this feeling that came over me (over me)
I was growing my hair
And I could not care
What they think
I said don't open the door
Even if you hear me screaming
In my new direction
And there is where I stay
Well, you should have known
That this boy wasn't true
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave
If you want to leave
That this boy wasn't true
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave
If you want to leave

Awwww, Break down!
I've been breaking sweats in the night-time I was growing my hair And I could not care What they think Cause my eyes were turned up Like you tore open the ceiling I've been singing songs in the night-time I was banging my head And I could not care What they think I said don't open the door Even if you hear me screaming
I built a raft and got carried away In my new direction And there's where I stay Cause, you should have known That this boy wasn't true So you can go away, Go away If you want to leave, If you want to leave
Now get down!
I was catching glimpses of bright lights And they attracted my steps 'Till I was so scared Of what could be Hidden underneath the rocks So we're never in position I was singing songs of a lost mind I was stealing my friends So I am not scared Of anything I said don't open the door Even if you hear me screaming
I met a boy who got carried away In my direction And there's where he stays Well, you should have known That this boy wasn't true So you can go away, Go away If you want to leave
And now don't you cry 'Cause you've got a treasure to find So shed those leaves that you lie underneath (underneath) And I told you straight, If you feel that you've lost your way Share this feeling that came over me (over me)

this is what i hear :) great song
looooves it
My lyrics are likely off a bit, the quality on myspace makes it hard to catch some stuff. As soon as I get a better version, I'll fix this.
great song
I think you may have nailed the door/screaming line, I must have listened to that 20 times trying to figure it out for sure.
it's an awesome song love it
just about accepting change and how in life u may go one way then all of a sudden possible screw u over n bring u in the exact opposite.
According to The Starting Line's PureVolume page, the lyric is "Well you should have known that this boy wasn't grown" not "true", but I don't think it sounds even remotely like "grown".
This is what im hearing:::: (changes have ** by it)

this is basically the only good song on direction, if the rest of the album followed "this direction" itd have been great, but it sucks
