Wrong Way, Bright Day

[Verse 1]
I drew the map upside down
Told the whole room, “This way!”
Took three wrong turns through the market
Still made it home with a story to say
You saw me miss the easy answer
Saw me laugh and try once more
Every crooked line I leave behind
Shows I stepped outside the door

[Pre-Chorus]
So if I stumble where you can see
I’ll take a bow, then count to three

[Chorus]
Wrong way, bright day, I’m still in the game
Missed that mark, but I showed up the same
Hands up, chin up, let the whole room know
I learned one thing where the brave ones go
Wrong way, bright day, no shame to hide
We make a little room for the next try
If I fall in front of you, watch me begin
The beautiful art of being wrong again

[Verse 2]
I said the name wrong at the meeting
Then we all learned how to say it right
Spilled my notes beside the doorway
Picked them up and stayed all night
You don’t need a perfect record
You just need a heart that’s game
Every time we miss together
We come back a little less afraid

[Pre-Chorus]
So if I stumble where you can see
I’ll take a bow, then count to three

[Chorus]
Wrong way, bright day, I’m still in the game
Missed that mark, but I showed up the same
Hands up, chin up, let the whole room know
I learned one thing where the brave ones go
Wrong way, bright day, no shame to hide
We make a little room for the next try
If I fall in front of you, watch me begin
The beautiful art of being wrong again

[Bridge]
Not wasted, not wasted
Every try leaves a trace
Not finished, not finished
There is room to change pace
You can watch me get it wrong
You can watch me start again

[Final Chorus]
Wrong way, bright day, I’m still in the game
Missed that mark, but I showed up the same
Hands up, chin up, let the whole room know
I learned one thing where the brave ones go
Wrong way, bright day, no shame to hide
We make a little room for the next try
If I fall in front of you, watch me begin
The beautiful art of being wrong again

[Outro]
Watch me begin
Wrong again, try again
