I Want To Be Wrong Lyrics - The Feel Good Record Of The Year - No Use For A Name

Let me introduce myself, my name is no concern 

The room is filled with superficial voices 

As the smoke clears I can see one hundred little lies 

Racing to the finish for a consolation prize 

I want to be wrong 

I wish that I was uncertain just like yesterday 

This is not who I am, been planning my escape 

So long now that my map looks like a maze 

Always on the dark side of a pessimistic moon 

Or burning in the sun of what they're saying 

If you have the foresight can you read between the lines? 

Finger two and four inviting fingers one and five 

To be in this song, it's nothing I can shut off 

But I think it's my place 

To let you know I know that all your plans are fake 

And what you give me I could never take 

Are you confusing me with someone else you hardly even know? 

I'm sitting here observing and more often I am learning 

That you are an artist and this is your show... so sing it 

I want to be wrong but what did i really think 

That this could become real? 

Now writing in cliches to learn from my mistakes 

But how much of you could anyone take?
