[Intro – Clean Guitar, Soft Keys]
Compass spinning in my hand
Lines erased we thought were planned
Every mile feels unsure
Nothing pointing like before
[Verse 1]
We were certain at the start
Every map a work of art
But the road began to bend
And we lost it in the end
Every sign we passed on by
Now just questions asking “why?”
Every turn we didn’t take
Feels like some forgotten stake
[Pre-Chorus]
If direction’s just a guess we made
Then maybe we can still unmake the maze
[Chorus]
Oh, no we’re way
(Off course)
Of course…
(We need to find our way)
So far gone, what can we say
(Lost the path along the way)
Oh, no we’re way
(Off course)
[Verse 2 – Drums Enter Lightly]
We keep tracing steps in sand
Trying hard to understand
How the lines we thought were true
Faded into something new
Every wrong begins to show
Places we don’t want to go
But the further that we stray
The more we learn along the way
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe every detour has a cost
But not every turn means we are lost
[Chorus]
Oh, no we’re way
(Off course)
Of course…
(We need to find our way)
Drifting farther every day
(Still we try to navigate)
Oh, no we’re way
(Off course)
[Bridge – Piano + Ambient Pads]
If there’s no clear line to follow
Do we lead or do we borrow
Every step a leap of faith
Through the doubt we can’t erase
Maybe wrong is just a view
From a point we once outgrew
Maybe lost is just a sign
We’re ahead of our own time
[Build – Full Band Rising]
No more waiting for the chart
We redraw it from the heart
Every path we carve ourselves
Is the truth we never felt
[Final Chorus – Big, Layered Vocals]
Oh, no we’re way
(Off course)
Of course…
(We need to find our way)
Through the night into the day
(We’ll create a brand new way)
Oh, no we’re way
(Off course)
Oh, no we’re way
(Off course)
But maybe that’s the way
(To find a better way)
[Outro – Guitar Arpeggio, Soft Fade]
Off course…
(Reality rehearse)
Still moving…
(Toward proving)
Still choosing…
[Silence]
