Plus/Minus - Ignoring All The Detours

It feels like looking in from the outside
and if you squint right, things look like they're alright
but oh how wrong we were
we never thought it could get worse

And I tried to look ahead
I would have followed you anywhere anyway
blind to the signs
And oh I guess should have known
I got caught ignoring all the detours
that were holding us back (and forth)

And sometimes you get the instant reply
and all the while you miss the real meaning
but oh how wrong we were
we never saw it getting worse.
