[Verse 1] I asked the vending machine for a sign It dropped my change and ate my dime I called the number on a paper cup Got a recorded voice that said, “Good luck” I chased each answer down the block Past open doors and broken clocks You said, “Come sit; the kettle’s on” I’d missed the place where hope was from [Pre-Chorus] I keep taking the long way home Trying every key but my own [Chorus] Wrong door, wrong turn, wrong little remedy I keep looking everywhere but where you are with me Wrong map, wrong move, still I come around Hope was in the room when I was out searching town Oh, I was out searching town [Verse 2] I bought a book that promised calm Then lost the page that held the psalm I asked the weather what to do It changed its mind before I knew You left a note beside the sink: “Come back before you overthink” The toast went cold, the tea went brown You laughed and pulled a chair around [Pre-Chorus] I keep taking the long way home Trying every key but my own [Chorus] Wrong door, wrong turn, wrong little remedy I keep looking everywhere but where you are with me Wrong map, wrong move, still I come around Hope was in the room when I was out searching town Oh, I was out searching town [Bridge] No grand design, no distant clue Just your worn sleeves and the things we do A light left on, a place to land A steady voice, an offered hand [Final Chorus] Wrong door, wrong turn, wrong little remedy I kept looking everywhere but where you are with me Wrong map, wrong move, now I’m homeward bound Hope was in the room; I finally turned around Oh, I finally turned around [Outro] The kettle clicks, the rain lets through I stop searching and sit with you
