Missy Higgins - On A Clear Night (2007) - The Wrong Girl lyrics

  • So the gloodgates open but nothing comes out
    I'm feeling no relief in my head, just doubt
    But my heart keeps telling me 'hold your ground
    You'll never learn a thing if you bail out now'

    And I'm lonely again tonight
    I can feel it like a knot in my side
    They keep saying this is part of the ride
    But I'm not getting stronger

    Yet hold me against the light
    And do you see any bullet inside?
    Wouldn't find one if you magnified
    Because you've got the wrong girl

    Had my fingers around the back of your chair
    You'd never miss a thing but you missed me there
    And I just kept thinking 'Am I prepared
    To pull it out from under your trusting stare?'

    Now the house is quiet as a hollow head
    And I'm walking round bumping into things you said
    This has not been as easy as I thought it would
    Id'be cooling down the fire if I thought I could

    But I'm lonely again tonight
    I can feel it like a knot in my side
    They keep saying this is part of the ride
    But I'm not getting stronger

    Yet hold me against the light
    And do you see any bullet inside?
    Wouldn't find one if you magnified
    Because you've got the wrong girl
