Wrong Way Down a One-Way (Remastered)

///*****/// [start] [control: dynamic, no-repeat] [language: English] [sequence: intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, final chorus, outro] [Intro | vulnerable vocals | reverb: room] wrong way down a one-way.. [Verse 1 | conversational | spoken-sung] Freshman fall down at Tulane, Your boots were muddy from the rain. i smiled when you asked my name, Said, "Boy, you'll get it one day." We shut down that little bar, Windows down in your old car. By Christmas we were pickin' out paint, By summer there was a due date. [Pre-Chorus | crescendo: gradual] Everybody said, "damn, you're livin' the dream..." Funny how a picture... Never shows what's in between. [Chorus | layered harmonies] I'm goin' the wrong way down a one-way, White lines disappearin' underneath. One hand on the wheel, Other hand taking off that ring. Half of me wants to lay by your side., Half of me don't miss lovin you at night. but I keep drivin', damn, is this a mistake? Did I take the right road... Or am I going the wrong way down a one-way [Verse 2 | rhythmic talk-sing] Now the sink's full of bottles, Little shoes by the door. red crayon on the hallway wall, There's a dinosaur on the bathroom floor. We're roommates wearin' wedding rings, Talkin' bills instead of dreams. Some nights I sit out in the truck, Just waitin' on the courage to start it up. [Chorus | bigger drums | harmony stack] I'm goin' the wrong way down a one-way, White lines disappearin' underneath. One hand on the wheel, Other hand taking off that ring. Half of me wants to lay by your side., Half of me don't miss lovin you at night. but I keep drivin', damn, is this a mistake? Did I take the right road... Or am I going the wrong way down a one-way [Bridge | vulnerable vocals | silence: 1s] Maybe freedom Ain't another town. Maybe it's findin' What we lost somehow. Or maybe some roads... don't gotta way out [Final Chorus | climax | full band] I'm goin' the wrong way down a one-way, Still hear your laugh at Tulane. Feels like yesterday You stole my last first date. Next thing I knew We were countin' heartbeat scans, Now I'm countin' years Through a wedding band. If I leave... I'll wear that weight. If I stay... Will we change? Tell me, Lord... Is it already too late? [Outro | ritardando | fade] Wrong way... One-way... Still prayin'... [end]
