If Its Wrong

Share:

Don't fall away from me
I need you where you are
Drunk people all around
We're safe here in the dark
Where I can search my head
Pretend this is the start
That spinning's not my head
The room's got a head start

I know that I could use somebody
To hold me in the dark
Sound the alarm!
But if it's wrong, then it's wrong
I ain't ever gonna know

You call it what you will
I've watched it fall apart
Catastrophe, I fear
Is closer than we thought
Time now to disappear
Creep back the way I came
And go back where the gods, I fear
Don't know me by my name

So I don't know if I should want you
When something in your eyes
Sounds the alarm!
You won't believe the things I'll tell you
If it's wrong, then it's wrong
I ain't ever gonna know!

Everybody's got to deal with
The messes that we made the night before
Don't think we'll let you sleep it off today

You tell me that you need somebody
Just keep it to yourself
Or sound the alarm
We don't have time to make a difference
We always go too far

So sound the alarm
Whoa, sound the alarm

The next line, "Drunk people all around, we're safe here in the dark" suggests that the singer is seeking refuge in the presence of the person they are addressing. The darkness and the lack of clarity provided by the external environment seem to signify the confusion in the mind of the singer.

The final lines of the chorus, "We always go too far, So sound the alarm, Whoa, sound the alarm" convey the singer's fear of making the wrong decision and causing damage. The singer seems to be aware that their emotions are running high and that they might end up hurting themselves or the other person. Overall, the lyrics of "If It's Wrong" depict the inner struggles of a person grappling with their emotions and trying to make sense of their feelings.

Don't fall away from me
Please don't leave me alone.

I need you where you are
I want you to stay with me right now.

Drunk people all around
There are a lot of intoxicated people nearby.

We're safe here in the dark
We can be ourselves without judgement.

Where I can search my head
I need to analyze my thoughts and feelings.

Pretend this is the start
Let's forget the past and start fresh.

That spinning's not my head
My thoughts and emotions are overwhelming me.

The room's got a head start
The environment is already chaotic.

I know that I could use somebody
I want someone to comfort me.

To hold me in the dark
I need someone to provide emotional support.

Sound the alarm!
Warning: there may be consequences to our actions.

But if it's wrong, then it's wrong
I am willing to take risks despite potential negative outcomes.

I ain't ever gonna know
I won't fully understand the consequences of my actions.

You call it what you will
You can label this situation however you want.

I've watched it fall apart
I have seen previous attempts at relationships crumble.

Catastrophe, I fear
There is potential for great harm if things go wrong.

Is closer than we thought
We may not have as much time to fix things as we think.

Time now to disappear
It's time to leave and start over somewhere new.

Creep back the way I came
I need to go back to where I started to get a fresh start.

And go back where the gods, I fear
It's safer to be anonymous and unknown by others.

Don't know me by my name
I don't want anyone to have a personal connection to me.

So I don't know if I should want you
I can't decide if I should pursue this relationship further.

When something in your eyes
Your body language and expressions are telling.

Sounds the alarm!
Warning: there may be consequences to our actions.

You won't believe the things I'll tell you
I have secrets that could potentially harm our relationship.

Everybody's got to deal with
We all have to take responsibility for our actions.

The messes that we made the night before
Our drunken mistakes have consequences.

Don't think we'll let you sleep it off today
We won't excuse or ignore our wrongdoings.

You tell me that you need somebody
You are admitting that you want someone for emotional support.

Just keep it to yourself
Please spare me the details of your emotional needs.

We don't have time to make a difference
It may be too late to fix our problems.

We always go too far
Our actions are often extreme and risky.

Whoa, sound the alarm
Warning: there may be consequences to our actions.
