26 Wrong Time

[Intro - Instrumental: Heavy bassline and tight drums establish a funky groove. Horns punctuate the rhythm.] [Verse 1] Late night, in a darkened cafe, I met you, thought it was fate. But I was wounded, heart closed tight, Alone in the fading light. [Pre-Chorus] Sweet words, a mesmerizing stare, My heart swayed, a fleeting snare. It's okay... it's okay... (It's okay... it's okay...) But no truth was there to stay, Just thorny words, wounds concealed. [Chorus] Wrong time, wrong meeting, Our wounds, only deepening. Misunderstandings and fights, a cycle unending, Separation's bitter sting, emptiness remaining. [Verse 2] Busy days, time slipping by, Unable to understand, we drifted nigh. [Pre-Chorus] Sweet words, a mesmerizing stare, My heart swayed, a fleeting snare. It's okay... it's okay... (It's okay... it's okay...) But no truth was there to stay, Just thorny words, wounds concealed. [Chorus] Wrong time, wrong meeting, Our wounds, only deepening. Misunderstandings and fights, a cycle unending, Separation's bitter sting, emptiness remaining. [Saxophone Solo: A soulful, emotional solo that builds the intensity of the song.] [Bridge] Time heals, the wounds begin to fade, Now I know, the mistakes I made. I am here... (I am here...) An unprepared meeting, love too fast, I won't repeat this, make it last. [Verse 3] Though now we're far apart, Your memory, held close to my heart. [Chorus] Wrong time, wrong meeting, Our wounds, only deepening. Misunderstandings and fights, a cycle unending, Separation's bitter sting, emptiness remaining. (Now I know, I know the mistakes of that time. Wrong time, wrong meeting.) [Saxophone Solo: A more upbeat solo, hinting at hope and moving on.] [Chorus] Wrong time, wrong meeting, Our wounds, only deepening. Misunderstandings and fights, a cycle unending, Separation's bitter sting, emptiness remaining. [Outro - Instrumental: Bassline and drums gradually fade out. Horns leave a lingering echo.]
