The Wrong Turn Was the Right

[Verse 1]
GPS went dark at the state line
Paper map was torn in the rain
Told myself that I was doing fine
But I was running from the same old pain
Missed the exit on the bypass route
Ended up on a gravel road
Underneath a sky of total doubt
Carrying a heavy, heavy load

[Chorus]
But the wrong turn was the right one!
Yeah, the wrong turn was the right one!
It led me straight to the neon sign
Where your hand first tangled up in mine
The wrong turn was the right one!

[Verse 2]
Now I'm looking at a brand new town
Speaking languages I never knew
All because a tire went flat down
On a highway heading out of blue
If I kept it on the painted line
If I stayed inside the safety zone
I would never know this wild design
I'd be sitting in the dark alone

[Chorus]
But the wrong turn was the right one!
Yeah, the wrong turn was the right one!
It led me straight to the neon sign
Where your hand first tangled up in mine
The wrong turn was the right one!

[Bridge]
[Instrumental: odd-meter synth and fretless slap bass interlude]

[Outro]
unexpected detour...
the best mistake I ever made.
The wrong turn was the right one.
