I Was Wrong About the Ending (741 Hz)

CosmicBoogeyman

psychedelic tavern funk, roots-rock, swamp-soul

[Intermission]

[Crowd chatter]

[Heart returns]

[COUGH]

[Heart]
All right.

Everybody still here?

[Crowd]
YEAH!

[Heart]
Smiley?

[Smiley]
Unfortunately.

[Crowd laughs]

[Heart]
Good.

I figured something out
while we were gone.

I was wrong about the ending.

[Silence]

[BONG]

[Huge bass groove drops]

[Heart]
There it is.

Let's go!

[Verse 1]

Had the last page written
Before the year arrived

Knew who'd stay
Knew what would change
Knew how the road would wind

Had tomorrow folded
In my pocket like a map

Then life walked through the doorway
And never once looked back

I said,
"That's not how this goes."

Life said,
"Who told you?"

[Heart]
Fair enough.

[Pre-Chorus]

I wasn't lying
I just didn't know

Turns out that's a difference
Worth learning as you go

[Chorus]

I was wrong about the ending!

[Crowd]
WRONG ABOUT THE ENDING!

Had the whole story ready—

Wasn't even close!

I was wrong about the ending!

[Crowd]
WRONG ABOUT THE ENDING!

Raise your hands
to everything
we still don't know!

[BONG]

[Groove gets heavier]

[Verse 2]

Wrong about the timing
Wrong about the signs

Wrong about what winning
Would feel like when it's mine

Thought arrival came with fireworks

[Crowd]
NOPE!

Thought love answered clean

[Crowd]
NOPE!

Thought I'd wake up different

Mostly woke up me

[Crowd laughs]

Reality brought coffee

Sunlight through the room

Nothing looked like I predicted

Still—

I liked the view

[Chorus]

I was wrong about the ending!

[Crowd]
WRONG ABOUT THE ENDING!

Had the whole story ready—

Wasn't even close!

I was wrong about the ending!

[Crowd]
WRONG ABOUT THE ENDING!

Still here
Still moving
Still got somewhere left to go!

[Instrumental Party Break]

[Upright bass leads]
[Hammond answers]
[Crowd claps and stomps]

[Bridge]

Maybe I needed a map
Just to get myself moving

Maybe being wrong tomorrow
Doesn't make today confusing

Give me good information

Give me people I can trust

Give me one honest step

Tomorrow can argue with us

[Heart]
I don't need the ending.

[Crowd]
DON'T NEED THE ENDING!

[Heart]
I need tonight!

[Crowd]
WE GOT TONIGHT!

[Final Chorus]

I was wrong about the ending!

[Crowd]
WRONG ABOUT THE ENDING!

Wrong about the timing!

[Crowd]
WRONG ABOUT THE ENDING!

Wrong about what winning
Was supposed to feel like!

But I'm still here!

[Crowd]
STILL HERE!

Still laughing!

[Crowd]
STILL HERE!

Still dancing!

[Crowd]
STILL HERE!

Maybe being wrong
turned out all right!

[Huge final chord]

[Silence]

[Crowd applauds]

[Heart]
Thank you.
Good night.

[Footsteps]

[Long pause]

[BONG]

[Crowd ERUPTS]

[Heart, distant]
Smiley...

[Smiley]
You thought it was over too.

[Band crashes into one final groove]

[Hard stop]
