You'd Think By Now Lyrics - The Geography Of Light - Carrie Newcomer

It isn't fair, it isn't right 

I've gone over and over the scenes in my head, 

Laid here awake half of the night 

No it isn't good, and I can't let go 

Must have been something or someone I hurt, 

In some other life somewhere long ago 

[Chorus] 

I don't know how I started down this tailspin 

Why one more time I just did not see it coming 

And you'd think by now, 

I'd have figured out the pattern 

I shook my fists I've left too soon 

The soft wounded animal inside of me 

Stood up on its hind legs and howled at the moon, 

Anger rises in a violet storm, 

And when I am wisest lay down beside it 

And hum in it's ear until it gets quiet 

[Chorus x2] 

It isn't fair, it isn't' right, 

I've wished on a million or billion bright stars, 

Prayed like the devil with all of my might 

And somebody said, "What's really true 

Yeah all of this stuff is different I know 

But what is in common has always been you." 

I'm learning to see, the heavens are so starry 

And if I'm not too proud I'll learn to say I'm sorry 

You'd think by now I'd have figured out the pattern
