Lyrics The Wrong Way - Bayside

The Wrong Way

I’ve seen you bite your nails in guilty thought
Thought you couldn’t care less until I saw those paws
I’d say if ya took a bite for every lie you told
You would’ve run out of fingers and started on your toes
Don’t think you’re on to something good right now
So let’s go back to the starting place
And I believe in futures, but I can’t afford to wait
You’ve been doing it the wrong way
And some day you’ll find something that makes you feel okay
But until then you’ll make your own way
You’re the type of girl who puts on cyanide perfume
Then asks for kisses on the neck from every boy in the room
So tell me now how you find yourself at the bottom of a bottle in a bar
And how your reflection reacts to you and your new scars
I don’t think you’re on to something good right now
I don’t think you’re on to something good right now
So let’s go back to the starting place
And I believe in futures, but I can’t afford to wait
You’ve been doing it the wrong way
And some day you’ll find something that makes you feel okay
But until then you’ll make your own way
All’s well that ends well, I’m finished with this game
There’s got to be a better way than learning from your mistakes
A small step for man now with you out of the way
But now it’s up to me to change
And make it so tomorrow starts today
And I believe in futures, but I can’t afford to wait
You’ve been doing it the wrong way
And some day you’ll find something that makes you feel okay
But until then you’ll make your own way
