I Have Failed You (Jon Lewis Wenders)

from The Wrist vs The Futurist Party by Allegra Gellar

/

lyrics

we met one summer sunday hiding out behind the church
it was 1990 we knew there wasn’t much to learn
from the priests or prophets better to explore with hands
upon each other’s body so much new to understand

everyday things aren’t going as they were supposed to
the little boys fall down, the girls don’t grow up as they used to
everyday things aren’t going as they were supposed to
i spoke of brave new worlds but now it’s clear that i have failed you

i shipped away to college i met a writer there
i sent his words to you they seemed to speak so clear
we drew a plan together between marriage and a parking lot
now it seems our understanding may have missed the plot

everyday things aren’t going as they were supposed to
the little boys fall down, the girls don’t grow up as they used to
everyday things aren’t going as they were supposed to
i spoke of brave new worlds but now it’s clear that i have failed you

everyday things aren’t going as they were supposed to
the little boys fall down, the girls don’t grow up as they used to
everyday things aren’t going as they were supposed to
i spoke of brave new worlds but now it’s clear that i have failed you
