[Instrumental Intro: Driving Alt-Rock Groove, Muted Guitar Riff, Pulsing Bass, Steady Drums]
[Verse 1]
Blinking sign I almost missed
Split-second call, I took the risk
Lines diverge without a sound
Now I’m somewhere I’m not found
Map keeps spinning in my head
Every route a thread misread
Thought I knew just where to go
Now I’m deeper in the unknown
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile asks me why
Every turn a blurred reply
No rewind, no reset
Just the road and my regret
[Refrain]
This could be
(The wrong exit)
Guess we’ll see
Mighta made a wrong turn
… will I ever learn…
(Or will it end ironically)
[Instrumental Break: Guitar Lead, Rolling Tom Fills]
[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker, numbers fade
Every choice a gamble played
Passing signs I don’t recall
Did I miss them after all?
Voices echo in my mind
“All roads lead somewhere in time”
But somewhere doesn’t feel like right
Just another endless night
[Pre-Chorus]
Every doubt accelerates
Every second hesitates
Still I push the engine on
Hoping I’m not too far gone
[Refrain]
This could be
(The wrong exit)
Guess we’ll see
Mighta made a wrong turn
… will I ever learn…
(Or will it end ironically)
[Bridge]
Maybe wrong is just a view
Maybe lost is something new
Every detour, every bend
Might be more than just an end
Or maybe I’ve been here before
Circling the same old door
Every lesson left unread
Looping lines inside my head
[Breakdown: Minimal Beat, Echo Guitar]
Wrong exit…
Or just different…
Wrong turn…
Or just distance…
[Final Refrain]
This could be
(The wrong exit)
Guess we’ll see
Mighta made a wrong turn
… will I ever learn…
(Or will it end ironically)
[Outro: Fading Engine Sound, Distant Guitar Echo]
Signal lost…
(At what cost)
Road goes on…
(And on and on)
Wrong exit…
(Perplex… yet…)
Still not gone…
