Leave on your own terms, before the battle is done

I was never the one, you were planning for

You want a soldier who lives to follow along

Cares where people belong, but I don't

And oh, well the truth is, maybe I'm the wrong guy

You want someone who will acquiesce to your fate

And watch you take on the weight, at your own expense

Someone who knows that the answer's just down the road

And there's nothing here we can hold, just to stay afloat

And oh well, the truth is, maybe I'm the wrong guy

Maybe I'm the wrong guy

And oh well, the truth is, maybe I'm the wrong guy

And all the words you saved, you can put 'em down, let 'em fade away

There's nothing for you here, we can paddle back, let it disappear

Timelines they falter - a moment short as it's sweet

Sweet enough to repeat, but you're over it

Seems like we're perfectly happy out on our own

Each of us having grown, in our way

And oh well the truth is, maybe I'm the wrong guy

I'm looking like the wrong guy

And oh well the word is, baby, I'm the wrong guy
