[Verse 1] I had a line that didn’t land Kinda crooked Kinda dumb It hummed inside my head all day So I let it hum I tried to clean it till it shined Scrubbed the edges Lost the bruise Every time I made it clearer It just lost you [Chorus] So I left the words wrong Let the vowels fall flat Kept the stumble in the sentence Didn’t polish that It isn’t what I’m saying It’s the way it drags along How your chest starts vibrating When I leave the words wrong [Verse 2] You said “That line don’t make much sense” Yeah I know That’s kinda it Truth comes out in half-made shapes More than perfect scripts I could trade this tiny shiver For a clever little twist But I’d rather keep the moment Than the meaning you might miss [Chorus] So I left the words wrong Let the rhythm trip Kept the gravel in the tone And the quiver in my lip It isn’t what I’m saying It’s the way it hangs too long How your heart hears the silence When I leave the words wrong [Bridge] What if reason Is just noise What if grammar Kills the voice What if every Broken phrase Is exactly Right that way (oh) [Chorus] So I left the words wrong Let the letters blur Kept the crack inside the chorus Where the feeling stirs It isn’t what I’m saying It’s the way it pulls you on You don’t need to understand it To be singing Singing along (I left the words wrong)
