[Verse 1]
My day slows down, its over
Hiding away, not out but underground
Can't see what's up ahead
I'd rather be unknown
And keep my face from turning red

I need to find a straighter face
Instead I laugh it off again
I need to find a straighter face
Instead I laugh

[Chorus]
Don't lead me down the wrong way
I finally have found a straight face
Don't lead me down the wrong way
My good old buddy loneliness
Come back again

[Verse 2]
Years going by too fast to notice
Make small mistakes can't change
Not over proud of saying what I've said
It keeps me wide awake, turning, sweating in my bed

I need to find a straighter face
Instead I laugh it off again
I need to find a straighter face
Instead I laugh
[Chorus]
Don't lead me down the wrong way
I finally have found a straight face
Don't lead me down the wrong way
My good old buddy loneliness
Come back again

Don't lead me down the wrong way
I finally have found it, yeah, a straight face
Don't lead me down the wrong way
My good old buddy loneliness
Come back again

[Bridge]
I need to find (I need to find)
A straighter face (A straighter face)
Instead I laugh (Instead I laugh)
It off again (Off again)

I need to find (I need to find)
A straighter face (A straighter face)
Instead I laugh (Instead I laugh)
It off again (Off again)

I need to find (I need to find)
A straighter face (A straighter face)
Instead I laugh
[Chorus]
Don't lead me down the wrong way
I finally have found a straight face
Don't lead me down the wrong way
My good old buddy loneliness
Come back again

Don't lead me down (I need to find)
The wrong way (A straighter face)
I finally have found it (A straighter face)
Yeah, a straight face (A straight face)
Don't lead me down (I need to find)
The wrong way (A straighter face)
My good old buddy loneliness (A straighter face)
Come back again (Off again)

[Outro]
Don't lead me down the wrong way
I finally have found a straight face
Don't lead me down the wrong way
My good old buddy loneliness is back again
