"I'm Wrong"

I tried to swim, but instead I'm sinking
I thought I'd fly, but I'm falling down
Thought that I could see to the finish line
But I'm further away than when I started

Efforts displaced, all the time that's wasted
Trying to find the way by our own means
The journey is important, but so is the destination
Yeah it gets to the point where I just can't take it

[chorus]
And ooh, I'm wrong
Been fighting to be right for far too long
And ooh, I'm wrong
There's freedom in this failure

All my hopes are broken, can you see them shattered
I've been set adrift by my own line
The heart is a compass, it leads to life or destruction
At the bottom you can see what really matters

And I, want to go where you lead me
But I know it means you have to defeat me

[chorus]
And ooh, I'm wrong
Been fighting for myself for far too long
And ooh, I'm wrong
There's freedom in this failure all along

And ooh, I'm wrong
I can't pave the way or even follow the sidewalks
And all my life I've tried to call the shots
Can't even call it in the air
And decide how the coin drops
Or claim the day that my heart stops, heart stops

And ooh, I'm wrong
But knowing that you're right
Might be the only chance I've got
