[Verse 1] Aisha and I don’t belong in the wood We took the wrong exit and kept driving like it would Sort itself out if we just went another mile Now the map says “turn back” and the dashboard won’t smile She’s in my head, messing with the steering wheel While I’m checking the route like it might make this real There’s a deer by the ditch and a grocery bag snagged on a branch Everything here looks like it got here by chance [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know, I know We came out here for a reason But the reason got thin Somewhere around the treeline [Chorus] Aisha and I don’t belong in the wood We’re all wrong angles, all borrowed good The comment section’s loud, but it don’t know me I’m too worn out to explain what it couldn’t see I’m just standing there, hands in my hood Aisha and I don’t belong in the wood [Verse 2] She said, “Play it cool,” while the bugs hit the windshield glass I laughed at the timing, then I let that pass There’s a smear of old mud on the side of my shoe And a pack of cold fries in the console too Somebody online got a lot to say About who we are and the things we made I opened that thread and I shut it right back It’s all caps and smoke and a half-true fact [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know, I know They got a whole crowd watching But they don’t have to live With the mess we’re walking [Chorus] Aisha and I don’t belong in the wood We’re all wrong angles, all borrowed good The comment section’s loud, but it don’t know me I’m too worn out to explain what it couldn’t see I’m just standing there, hands in my hood Aisha and I don’t belong in the wood [Verse 3] She found a marker on a post that said “private road” Like somebody thought a warning would make it home We followed the tracks where the gravel gave out Past a tipped-over sign and a busted mailbox She said, “This is funny,” but I heard what she meant How you can end up lost just by paying rent How a room can get small when the tabs come due How a whole life can slip through a screen you never meant to use [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know, I know We could leave this place tonight But the same old noise Would still be riding shotgun behind us [Chorus] Aisha and I don’t belong in the wood We’re all wrong angles, all borrowed good The comment section’s loud, but it don’t know me I’m too worn out to explain what it couldn’t see I’m just standing there, hands in my hood Aisha and I don’t belong in the wood [Bridge] We sat on the tailgate, counting car lights far off Talking about nothing, trying not to get caught By the part of the day that asks you to decide If you’re brave or just numb or somewhere in between that line She took my phone and turned the screen face down Said, “Give it ten minutes, let the world cool down” And maybe she was joking, maybe she was right Maybe the woods were only loud because it was that kind of night [Verse 4] So we walked a little deeper, just to shake the name Past a broken fence and a patch of wet clay Not looking for meaning, not chasing a sign Just trying to get some room around our minds There was a cabin with a porch light out A wind chime hung there making a bent-metal sound And for a second it felt like the whole place knew We were temporary, both of us, through and through [Final Chorus] Aisha and I don’t belong in the wood We’re all wrong angles, all borrowed good The comment section’s loud, but it don’t know me I’m too worn out to explain what it couldn’t see I’m just standing there, hands in my hood Aisha and I don’t belong in the wood [Outro] If you hear us talking, we’re probably just lost Trying to carry less than we already cost Aisha laughs once, then the trees go still We don’t fit here But we’re here still
