I Was Right Lyrics by Hamilton Leithauser

This Side of the Island

2025

You can burn your lungs in the salty air
\nScorch your skin to leather out there
\nUnder a colorless sun, in a colorless sky
\nAcross a country we used to hide behind
\n
\nI guess it's nice, I guess, to crumble sometimes
\nI guess it's nice, but I was always right
\nI was always right, I was always right
\nI was always right
\n
\nI said you'll love me again
\nYou're gonna love me again, and I was right
\nOh, it's a brand new bottle
\nBut it's filled with the same dark wine
\n
\nI guess it's nice, I guess it's really nice
\nTo capitulate sometimes, but I was always right
\nI was always right, I was always right
\n
\nI said you'll love me again
\nYou're gonna lovе me again, and I was right
\nOh, it's a brand new bottle
\nBut it's fillеd with the same dark wine
\n
\nYou're gonna love me again
\nYou're gonna love me again, yeah
\nOh, it's a brand new bottle
\nBut it's filled with the same dark wine\n\n
