It Was Already Wrong

By the time I heard the shot, it was already wrong.

Verse 1 Door was supposed to open soft, it came off the wall Somebody inside who wasn't on the call A face I didn't plan for, hands where hands should not have been A second that grew teeth and swallowed where we'd been I'm just the engine, I don't carry, I don't deal But the night don't care what part of it you feel Glass came down like weather, slow and bright And every road I memorized turned into the wrong night

Pre-Chorus Too late, too loud Too far in The plan died first Before the men

Chorus It was already wrong, it was already wrong The blood was on the floor before the alarm's first song I didn't pull it, I won't pretend that's true It was already wrong the second I said I'd drive you through

Verse 2 Somebody's running, somebody's down and won't get up Somebody's hand still holding a paper coffee cup That's the thing that breaks me, not the noise, the cup A normal Tuesday morning that we tore clean up I'm screaming "in the car" to men who cannot hear Their ears are full of what they did this year I count the seats, I'm short a man, I don't ask where He's a stain and a story now and I just have to steer

Pre-Chorus Too late, too loud Too far in The plan died first Before the men

Chorus It was already wrong, it was already wrong The blood was on the floor before the alarm's first song I didn't pull it, I won't pretend that's true It was already wrong the second I said I'd drive you through

Bridge There's a version of this morning where I said no on the phone. He had the same coffee in it. He just got to finish it in a kitchen I'll never see, in a life I drove off the road. It was already wrong, it was already wrong The blood was on the floor before the alarm's first song I didn't pull it, I won't pretend that's true It was already wrong the second I said I'd drive you through

Outro The second I said I'd drive
