lyrics

Leading me on - Shawn Hennessey 2010

It’s not how my life is supposed to be
Caught between cure and catastrophe
Keep it together day by day
Never thought I would feel this way
Mmm you’re leading me on

I talked to my old friend on the telephone
I told him that I need him, I need him in my life
Told him I’m feeling like nothing’s gonna change now
I’m still glad that he’s leading me on

Leading me on, Leading me on
I’m glad that you’re leading me on

When it’s dark and the vision is hard to see
And I try to listen for a melody
Because the music is the only thing keeping me strong
Said I’m glad that you’re leading me on….

Some follow the stars, some follow the word
Some follow their family.
I follow the sound it’s all that I’ve found
That brings out the very best in me

I know there is a better day drawing near
With all the strange mistakes I make I’m seeing clear
And day by day, I play and play. I’m moving on
So you take all your money and trade it in for one real song
Singing “I’m glad you’re leading me on”

Leading me on, Leading me on
I’m glad that you’re leading me on
