I saw the things that could be
and now they're come to stay
You know that I can't take this
I can't watch this thrown away
It's not the things you told me
it's not the times we stayed
I know I f***** up
I can't make this go away
She kneels to pray
Things gone astray
Against the grain
It wasn't what it should be
It wasn't all the ways
I would not watch what's coming
now I know it comes my way
and now we lost it all
and all the times it could have stayed
We know that we f***** up
and now I know there's just no way
I'm counting all the ways
it's sitting in today
you say there is no way
it was against the grain
and now they're come to stay
You know that I can't take this
I can't watch this thrown away
It's not the things you told me
it's not the times we stayed
I know I f***** up
I can't make this go away
She kneels to pray
Things gone astray
Against the grain
It wasn't what it should be
It wasn't all the ways
I would not watch what's coming
now I know it comes my way
and now we lost it all
and all the times it could have stayed
We know that we f***** up
and now I know there's just no way
I'm counting all the ways
it's sitting in today
you say there is no way
it was against the grain
