The Wrong One Lyrics by States

Room to Run

2012

[Verse 1]
Is it obvious, or concealed?
Is it changing now? oh-oh-oh, oh
Well, you could allow it to
You know, you could allow it to

Is it permanent, or for now?
Is it make believe? oh-oh-oh, oh
Open your mind right up
And try to imagine once

[Chorus]
Listen up, oblivious
We've all seen it, seen it enough
Listen up, oblivious
We all see that, see that
You're wishing for the wrong one
Wishing for the wrong one

[Verse 2]
Is it boring now, or too weird?
Is it counting up? oh-oh-oh, oh
The clocks are moving on
And causing the night to fall

Is it overdone, or so bare?
Is it running out? oh-oh-oh, oh
There's a million eager towns
Prepare a way around

[Chorus]
Listen up, oblivious
We've all seen it, seen it enough
Listen up, oblivious
We all see that, see that
You're wishing for the wrong one
Wishing for the wrong one

[Bridge]
Imagine making a mess of it all
Some beneficial hurricane
Making a mess into all of it
So bring in the hurricane
Take all the perfect away

[Chorus]
Listen up, oblivious
We've all seen it, seen it enough
Listen up, oblivious
We all see that, see that
You're wishing for the wrong one

[Outro]
Listen up, oblivious
We've all seen it, seen it enough
Listen up, oblivious
We all see that, see that
You're wishing for the wrong one
Wishing for the wrong one
Keep on wishing, love
