[Intro] I was right ... That's the worst part [Verse 1] Saw it coming from a mile away Knew the turn Knew the shape Knew exactly what would happen And it did ... Look at that Should've felt good Didn't I was standing where I said I'd be With less than when I started [Pre-Chorus] That's strange Being right was supposed to save me [Chorus 1] I was right and still lost Tell me what do you do with that? Read it right Held it wrong Watched the truth take something back I kept thinking if I knew then knowing had to be enough I was right ... and still lost [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I've done that other places Knew that look Knew that tone Knew the distance wasn't temporary Stayed anyway just to watch myself be right Oh There it is Knowing what comes next and walking into it [Pre-Chorus] Maybe seeing it and stopping it aren't the same skill [Chorus 2] I can be right and still lose See the ending clear as day Call the turn before it happens Still be standing in its way Truth can tell me where it's going Can't decide what I will do Being right can show the doorway It can't walk me through [Long Instrumental] [Verse 3] That's almost funny All those years I wanted to be right Like right was some kind of shelter Somewhere nothing could touch me But truth doesn't owe me protection It just tells the truth [Bridge] Ohhh I think I get it now Right is information Not immunity Right doesn't close it Right doesn't leave Right doesn't take my hands when I stop listening to me And being wrong? ... Maybe that was never the thing I was afraid of Maybe I was scared I could know and still not choose [Instrumental Expansion] [Final Chorus] I can be right and let go I can know and still decide I can see exactly where it's headed without needing the whole ride Truth can tell me what I'm seeing Then the rest belongs to me I don't need being right to save me I need to know what I do once I see [Extended Instrumental] [Outro] I was right ... Good Now what?
