Sean Watkins - Where You Were Living lyrics

[Verse 1] You were born unto a king and queen And taught right from wrong Gettin' everythin' you needed In your castle, safe from harm ‘Til you dared one day to step outside And have a look around Just to turn and find your fortress Was a hole in the ground Just a hole in the ground [Pre-Chorus] So you dove into the world Where you were told you'd be destroyed And your life would unfurl And you'd lose all your joy [Chorus] You saw your share of mistakes But you forgave and were forgiven Thank God you crawled out of That hole where you were livin' [Verse 2] You were warned not to question That's the devil planting seeds And the power of suggestion Is a mighty force indeed But you said Why, tell me why Would you be given a mind Along with a fear to lose it Lest you be left behind? Yeah, don't get left behind [Pre-Chorus] So you dove into the world Where you were told you'd be destroyed You met a lotta girls You made a little noise Mmm [Chorus] You saw your share of mistakes But you forgave and were forgiven Thank God you crawled out of That hole where you were livin' [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, you dove into the world You were told you'd be destroyed And your life would unfurl And you'd lose all your joy [Chorus] You made your share of mistakes But you forgave and were forgiven And you thank God you crawled out of That hole where you were livin'
