All The Wrong Places

[Verse 1]
I asked the cracked compass where the north had gone
Bought a paper promise from a smiling man
Kept my lucky penny in a borrowed shoe
Every road I trusted looped me back to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you said, “Look up—your hands are full of maps”
I let the pages fall and heard the silence crack

[Chorus]
I was looking for hope in all the wrong places
Counting locked doors, memorizing blank faces
You were right here, calling through the noise
I was chasing signs; I could’ve heard your voice
All the wrong places, all the wrong places
Hope was closer than I knew

[Verse 2]
I searched the old coat for a note from fate
Asked a fortune cookie if I’d learned to wait
Traded every morning for a perfect plan
Till you left a warm cup by my shaking hand

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “The answer isn’t hidden in the miles”
I looked at you and finally stopped awhile

[Chorus]
I was looking for hope in all the wrong places
Counting locked doors, memorizing blank faces
You were right here, calling through the noise
I was chasing signs; I could’ve heard your voice
All the wrong places, all the wrong places
Hope was closer than I knew

[Bridge]
No secret number, no borrowed remedy
Just one open window and you beside me
I don’t need the whole way drawn in blue
One honest step is enough to start anew

[Final Chorus]
I was looking for hope in all the wrong places
Now I see it in the ordinary graces
You were right here, calling through the noise
I was chasing signs; now I know your voice
All the wrong places, all the wrong places
Hope was closer than I knew
Hope was closer than I knew

[Outro]
Closer than I knew
Right here with you
