Wrong Way 'Round

Verse 1

I said one thing

You heard another

Now we're halfway down the road

You took a spark of nothing

And turned it into heavy load

A sideways glance

A quiet word

Suddenly the rumor flies

Funny how a simple sentence

Can grow ten different sides

Pre-Chorus

Maybe slow down

Take a breath

Before you write the ending

Sometimes what you think you heard

Was never what I'm saying

Chorus

You took it the wrong way

Wrong way

Wrong way

Hopping down a rabbit trail

That wasn't there yesterday

You saw the ears

Missed the heart

You jumped before you knew

Sometimes the story in your head

Isn't the story that is true

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Wrong way 'round

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Wrong way 'round

Verse 2

Little bunny in the garden

Stops and listens to the noise

One ear points toward the trouble

One ear says ignore those voices

Everybody's got an angle

Everybody's got a view

But the picture looks a little different

When you finally hear the truth

Pre-Chorus

Don't build a castle out of guesses

Don't turn whispers into facts

Sometimes all it really takes

Is asking what did you mean by that

Chorus

You took it the wrong way

Wrong way

Wrong way

Hopping down a rabbit trail

That wasn't there yesterday

You saw the ears

Missed the heart

You jumped before you knew

Sometimes the story in your head

Isn't the story that is true

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Wrong way 'round

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Wrong way 'round

Verse 3

Back it up

Unwind the tape

Rerun every little line

Maybe the words you clung to

Never fit what I defined

Take the leap

Close the book

Set the record straight tonight

The version you were reading

Was a shadow not the light

Pre-Chorus

Slow down now

Hold your tongue

Before the walls come down

Ask me once

Ask me twice

Let the truth come 'round

Chorus

You took it the wrong way

Wrong way

Wrong way

Hopping down a rabbit trail

That wasn't there yesterday

You saw the ears

Missed the heart

You jumped before you knew

Sometimes the story in your head

Isn't the story that is true

Bridge

Hop left

Hop right

Everybody's got a different sight

One little word

One little sound

Suddenly the whole world turns around

But before you judge

Before you run

Before you decide what's already done

Turn around and ask me why

Don't let a guess become a lie

Breakdown

Rabbit ears up

Listen close

That's the part we need the most

Not every shadow means a fight

Not every silence means goodbye

Sometimes things get twisted fast

But misunderstandings don't have to last

Don't have to last

Don't have to last

Final Chorus

You took it the wrong way

Wrong way

Wrong way

Hopping down a rabbit trail

And getting lost along the way

You saw the ears

Missed the heart

But now you finally knew

The story wasn't what you thought

It was waiting there for you

Outro

So slow down little bunny

Put your ears up to the sky

Before you jump to conclusions

Maybe ask me why

'Cause everybody's got a story

And sometimes we get it wrong

So listen a little closer

Before you sing along

Wrong way

Wrong way

Wrong way 'round
