Lyrics
Against the Grain
Woke up cold & uncovered in the still night air
Curled up hoping you'd warm me up but you're not there
I've been trying to forget the fall without a net
Gave up a love that caused you pain cause it cut against the grain
Tossing, trying to sleep inside this empty bed
Turning, patiently waiting for the night to end
but the hours always crawl & I climb the walls
and every night I go insane since love cut against the grain
CHORUS
And though it's forbidden you trespass through my dreams
Cut across the shadows prayin' you won't be seen no oh
INSTR
Echoes of fading memories whisper through the night
Asking if it's so wrong why did it feel so right
I loved you more than you could know, enough to let you go
& though we tried it's all in vain when love's cut against the grain
love sings a sad refrain when it's cut against the grain
