Lyrics of One Wrong Turn by Alec Benjamin
verse
I knew a guy, let's call him Jeff
He had a wife that up and left
Last Thursday night she saw his texts
And she was mortified
It wasn't right, though he confessed
That just one time he called his ex
She didn't buy it or accept when Jeff apologized
Now he's all alone
chorus
Something funny that I've learned
Is just how quickly fate can turn
How one simple mistake can take you out (out, out, out)
Something funny that I've found
Is just how quickly worlds burn down
Make one wrong turn and you can't turn around ('round, 'round, 'round)
One wrong turn can burn things to the ground
verse
Mm, mm, mm, pa-ra-ra-ra
verse
I knew a girl, let's call her Jess
She took a drive to buy a dress
But missed the light as it turned red and ran into traffic
She took a right, if she turned left
She'd be alive, would not be dead
She'd have arrived, but now instead
The end is tragic
chorus
Something funny that I've learned
Is just how quickly fate can turn
How one simple mistake can take you out (out, out, out)
Something funny that I've found
Is just how quickly worlds burn down
Make one wrong turn, and you can't turn around ('round, 'round, 'round)
One wrong turn can burn things to the ground
bridge
But the thing you didn't see comin'
Is that Jeff was Jess's husband
And the ex he had to call is no longer into boys at all
It's all one big misunderstanding
Like dominoes crash-landing
Once the first one falls, they all come tumbling down
And now he's all alone
chorus
Something funny that I've learned
Is just how quickly fate can turn
How one simple mistake can take you out (out, out, out)
Something funny that I've found
Is just how quickly worlds burn down
Make one wrong turn, and you can't turn around ('round, 'round, 'round)
One wrong turn can burn things to the ground
outro
Mm, mm, mm, pa-ra-ra-ra
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Writer(s): Nolan Lambroza, Alec Shane Benjamin, David Hodges
