Lyrics The Average - Joseph O'Brien

The Average

No one told me I would suffer
No one told me I would grieve
They told me «live the way you want to»
You still inherit eternity
But something I got in my head
Are telling me those words are dead
No, I can tell it’s a lie, here’s why
Swept away in the dead of winter
It’s only when I cry out for my lover
Then I’ll move along, I move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing colors
Then I’ll pray too long, I’ll pray too long
Now there are moments where I am faithful
But I do it for worldly gain
And if it doesn’t come I will seethe and
Run to wrong my selfish drain
But something I got in my head
Are telling me those words are dead
No, I can tell it’s a lie, here’s why
Swept away in the dead of winter
It’s only when I cry out for my lover
And I’ll move along, I’ll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing colors
Then I’ll pray too long, I’ll pray too long
The truth is, don’t be surprised when trials come and invade your lives
The truth is, we follow Christ in the good or bad
In the day or night
Swept away in the dead of winter
It’s only when I cry out for my lover
Then I’ll move along, I’ll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing colors
Then I’ll pray too long, I’ll pray too long
Swept away in the dead of winter
It’s only when I cry out for my lover
Then I’ll move along, I’ll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing colors
Then I’ll pray too long, I’ll pray too long
The truth is, don’t be surprised when trials come and invade your lives
The truth is, we follow Christ in the good or bad
In the day or night
