[Intro – Immediate driving acoustic guitar rhythm, deep punchy kick drum, warm electric guitar riff. Strong rhythmic momentum.] [Verse 1 – Rhythmic soulful delivery, acoustic guitar and punchy drums] Your keys are on the counter Your suitcase by the door You said you wouldn't do this Like a hundred times before I'm standing in the kitchen With a cigarette unlit You say you're finally leaving And I say, "Yeah, that's probably it" [Short guitar lick] But then you turn around... [Pre-Chorus – Rising melody, bass and drums building tension] And there's that look in your eyes That always changes my mind We know exactly how this ends But here we go again! [Chorus – Explosive raspy soul-pop belt, huge live drums, wide electric guitars] WE'RE IN IT FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS! Saying we're done, then we're right back believing We got a love that don't know when to quit And a couple broken hearts that are used to this! OH, WE'RE FALLING APART, STILL HOLDING ON! Making up excuses till the morning comes We can call it crazy, we can call it love But we both know we ain't had enough! YEAH, WE'RE IN IT FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS! [Post-Chorus – Short melodic hook, guitars answer the vocal] Oh-oh-oh! All the wrong reasons! Oh-oh-oh! And I don't wanna leave 'em! [Verse 2 – Tight modern hip-hop-influenced drum groove, acoustic strumming, soulful vocal] You got a way of talking Like you're halfway out the room But your favorite old sweatshirt Still smells like my perfume You say I never listen I say you never stay Then we're laughing in the hallway Like we didn't fight all day And I don't know what to call it Don't know what it means But the minute you get close to me I forget why you were leaving [Pre-Chorus – Faster rhythmic phrasing, rising tension] There's that look in your eyes And I'm losing my mind We know exactly how this ends But here we go again! [Chorus – Bigger, wider, more emotional] WE'RE IN IT FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS! Saying we're done, then we're right back believing We got a love that don't know when to quit And a couple broken hearts that are used to this! OH, WE'RE FALLING APART, STILL HOLDING ON! Making up excuses till the morning comes We can call it crazy, we can call it love But we both know we ain't had enough! YEAH, WE'RE IN IT FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS! [Instrumental Break – Eight-bar driving electric guitar melody, punchy drums, thick bass, acoustic rhythm underneath. No funk.] [Bridge – Half-time emotional breakdown, acoustic guitar and intimate vocals] [Weston – Nearly whispered, vulnerable] Maybe we ain't good for each other Maybe everybody's right Maybe all we're doing Is wasting one more night [Pause – Drums disappear] But if you're really leaving Then tell me why you're crying And if I'm really over you... [Weston – Rising gritty belt] WHY THE HELL AM I STILL TRYING?! [Final Chorus – Full explosive pop-rock arrangement, massive drums, electric guitars, emotional raspy vocals] WE'RE IN IT FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS! Saying we're done, then we're right back believing We got a love that don't know when to quit And a couple broken hearts that are used to this! OH, WE'RE FALLING APART, STILL HOLDING ON! Making up excuses till the morning comes We can call it crazy, we can call it love But we both know we ain't had enough! YEAH, WE'RE IN IT FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS! [Final Hook – Repeated melodic refrain, energetic live band] Oh-oh-oh! All the wrong reasons! Oh-oh-oh! Still got me believing! [Outro – Band pulls back, just acoustic guitar and soft kick] [Weston – Soft, tired smile] Your keys are on the counter... [Short pause] But you're still here. [End – Final warm guitar chord]
