Rise Against › Lyrics › 1000 Good Intentions

It's all the same thing, now that it ever was
Except now you've strayed too far
Need you to stop digging your hole
And follow the path we light

Don't need an invitation to be reconciled
'Cause these home fires are burning
Stare into your empty eyes and wonder

How could something so right, turn out so wrong?
You spent your time making excuse
For the ways of life that you are choosing
How could something so right, turn out so wrong?
Not sure exactly where I am

The more we organize
We suck out this life that serves as the fuel behind
You wanna take the passion in my veins
And put it down in black and white

You've got your foot directly on the gas
I watch you burn out so fast
Now I can see just what you've become

And how could something so right, turn out so wrong?
I don't have a backup plan
This is all that I am
And how could something so right, turn out so wrong?
Not sure exactly where I am

(One)
One thousand
(Good)
Intentions
(Lost)
Translation
(Lost)
Forever
(One)
One thousand
(Good)
Intentions
(Lost)
Translation
(Lost)
Forever lost

And how could something so right, turn out so wrong?
I don't have a backup plan
This is all that I am
And how could something so right, turn out so wrong?
Not sure exactly where I am, where I am
