[Verse 1]
You walked in soft
I walked away hard
Your hand on my sleeve
Like a flare in the dark
I was all set
For a clean little break
But you looked at me
And I started to shake
[Pre-Chorus]
So I turned my face
And you turned yours too
We knew that kind of fire
Would only cut right through
I held my breath
You held that stare
The farther I went
The more you were there
[Chorus]
Wrong way, baby
Wrong way, baby
I keep moving off
And you keep pulling me back
Wrong way, baby
Wrong way, baby
Love goes one way
And I can’t do that
[Verse 2]
Your name on my tongue
Tastes like a bruise
I try to forget
But I know what I choose
I leave through the door
You come through my dreams
I’m chasing the silence
You’re tearing the seams
[Pre-Chorus]
So I turned my face
And you turned yours too
We knew that kind of fire
Would only cut right through
I held my breath
You held that stare
The farther I went
The more you were there
[Chorus]
Wrong way, baby
Wrong way, baby
I keep moving off
And you keep pulling me back
Wrong way, baby
Wrong way, baby
Love goes one way
And I can’t do that
[Bridge]
If I loved you right
Maybe I’d stay
Maybe I’d stop
Trying to drift away
But my heart got scars
My pride got hands
It keeps on running
Before it can land
[Final Chorus]
Wrong way, baby
Wrong way, baby
I keep moving off
And you keep pulling me back
Wrong way, baby
Wrong way, baby
Love goes one way
And I can’t do that
Wrong way, baby
Wrong way, baby
If you want forever
I’m the wrong track
