One Wrong Turn

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 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 Mm, mm, mm, pa-ra-ra-ra 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 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 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 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 Mm, mm, mm, pa-ra-ra-ra Mm, mm, mm, mm
