brody grant - great expectations lyrics

Loading...

[ponyboy]
intro
‘scuse me, mr. d+ckens
i’ve got something on my mind
i’ve tried but i can’t seem to let it go

lately i’ve been thinking about that
little orphan boy
who’s parents died and left him all
alone

then an outlaw came one faithful day
while standing at his parent’s grave
and offered him another way to climb
and i wonder…
is that orphan’s story mine?

verse
all these great expectations
meet these grave revelations
am i the one in control?

is it all predetermined?
am i playing a roll?
part of a story…foretold?
darryl was on his way up in the world
everyone knew he’d go far
but life came along, it had different plans
how quickly a dream falls apart

johnny has no kind of chance
in this world
not from where he’s at a start
who knows how far in this life
he could go, if he played a different
part?

i look around at all of my friends
and still i feel alone
i would follow them to battle
but their story’s not my own

they say that strengths in numbers
but they never think it out
about a path that leads you out
beyond these city walls!

chorus
i’ve got great expectations
great expectations…
great expectations
bridge
torn between what is and what
could be
it’s hard to write the story
when the story’s writing me…

when this great expectation….
meets this grave revelation…..
maybe this cover’s not yours..

outro
when your book’s full of creases..
and you see that the grease is
telling a story, but you’ve read that
one before

so you fight just to show them
that you’re not all the same..
that under the covers…there’s more…..
