One Wrong Turn - Alec Benjamin

I knew a guy, let's call him Jeff

He had a wife that up and left

Last Thursday night, she saw his texts

And she was mortified

It wasn't right, though he confessed

That, just one time, he called his ex

She didn't buy it or accept when Jeff apologized

Now he's all alone

Something funny that I've learned

Is just how quickly fate can turn

How one simple mistake can take you out (Out, out, out)

Something funny that I've found

Is just how quickly worlds burn down

Make one wrong turn and you can't turn around ('Round, 'round, 'round)

One wrong turn can burn things to the ground

I knew a girl, let's call her Jess

She took a drive to buy a dress

But missed the light as it turned red and ran into traffic

She took a right, if she turned left

She'd be alive, would not be dead

She'd have arrived, but now, instead

The end is tragic

Something funny that I've learned

Is just how quickly fate can turn

How one simple mistake can take you out (Out, out, out)

Something funny that I've found

Is just how quickly worlds burn down

Make one wrong turn and you can't turn around ('Round, 'round, 'round)

One wrong turn can burn things to the ground

But the thing you didn't see comin'

Is that Jeff was Jess' husband

And the ex he had to call is no longer into boys at all

It's all one big misunderstanding

Like dominos crash-landing

Once the first one falls, they all come tumbling down

And now he's all alone

Something funny that I've learned

Is just how quickly fate can turn

How one simple mistake can take you out (Out, out, out)

Something funny that I've found

Is just how quickly worlds burn down

Make one wrong turn and you can't turn around ('Round, 'round, 'round)

One wrong turn can burn things to the ground
