PhoenixSonata - Wrong by Morning
[Intro] [piano, cold room tone, one held chord, no drums] [Verse 1] [soft, half-whispered, fingerpicked guitar, close-mic vocal] We sat at the table Cold tea, no fight You stared at the window I stared at the light We said it was fading Like leaves in July No tears on the paper Just “maybe” and “goodbye” [Pre-Chorus] [building slowly, floor tom enters, bass notes under] We thought we were done Thought the spark was gone Packed up the hurt And called it m-ooo-v-iii-ng ooo-n [Chorus] [full band, belt it, anthemic, wide guitars] We were wrong, wrong, wrong Wrong by morning We were wrong, wrong, wrong When the bed felt too empty We were wrong, wrong, wrong To let it all go Now I'm back at your door And I don't wanna go [Verse 2] [stripped back again, bass + rim clicks only, almost spoken] Your shirt on my chair Still carrying your smell I told myself peace But I knew you too well You took the long road I took the fast one out Two stubborn hearts With too much doubt [Pre-Chorus] [tighter than first time, rising, snare roll at the end] Then every small thing Started hitting hard Your laugh in my head Your name in my c-aaa-r [Chorus] [full band, harder than first chorus, doubled vocal] We were wrong, wrong, wrong Wrong by morning We were wrong, wrong, wrong When the bed felt too empty We were wrong, wrong, wrong To let it all go Now I'm back at your door And I don't wanna go [Bridge] [drop everything, voice and piano only, intimate, almost spoken] You said, “I miss us” I said, “Me too” All that silence Was lying to you We were both just scared — Not of losing, of keeping So the night got long And the phone stayed lit [Build] [single clean guitar, drums building bar by bar, hand claps, no vocal] [Final Chorus] [key up, everything in, gang vocals on the "wrong"s, cathartic] We were wrong, wrong, wrong Wrong by morning We were wrong, wrong, wrong When the bed felt too empty We were wrong, wrong, wrong To let it all go Now I’m back at your door And I’m not letting go We were wrong, wrong, wrong But we found our way Wrong, wrong, wrong And I’m here to stay [Outro] [band drops out, voice and piano, slow fade] And I'm not letting go [whispered] and I'm here to stay
