Great Mistake

[Intro – echo, reverb | spacey]

(Hey…)
(I’ll never think about the…)
(past again)


---

[Chorus – BIG, layered, group “Hey!”]

I went the right way (Hey!) on accident,
Never messed up so good, yeah,
I’ll never think about the past again,
Your smile’s brighter than our future, baby,
Together we’re the truth — ain’t nothing shady.

(Ooooh oo)

[Verse 1 – pulled back, light groove]

If you ask anyone around my way,
They’d say I’ve had my share of mistakes,
But luck’s been on my side as of late,
Ever since the day I saw you working at the bank.

Thought it slipped my mind? Nah, that ain’t the case,
Back-to-back deposits just to see that pretty face,
You’re looking way too fine for me to ever draw a blank,
Been making so many withdrawals,
I went and bought a safe.

[Pre-Chorus – lift, tension builds]

I was running from the long way home,
Chasing things I couldn’t hold,
Funny how I found my place to land,
When I let go of the plan…


---

[Chorus – FULL DROP, bigger]

I went the right way (Hey!) on accident,
Never messed up so good, yeah,
I’ll never think about the past again,
Your smile’s brighter than our future, baby,
Together we’re the truth — ain’t nothing shady.


---

[Bridge – open, emotional, half-time feel]

Funny how the fall felt like a second chance,
Every goodbye showed me where to stand,
If I hadn’t lost my way back then,
I’d never know what forever meant.

Let it rain, let the doubts all fade,
I don’t need proof when I see your face,
Every wrong turn, every broken plan,
Was just the road that led me to your hand.


---

[Final Chorus – BIGGEST, stacked vocals]

I went the right way (Hey!) on accident,
Never messed up so good, yeah,
I’ll never think about the past again,
Your smile’s brighter than our future, baby,
Together we’re the truth — ain’t nothing shady.

[Outro – drop instruments, echo]

(Hey…)
(On accident…)
(Yeah…)
