[Verse 1]

Before I sat and relaxed in this peaceful state

There's many things which I had to alleviate

There's many things that were hard to release with change

Most of us don't learn the easy way

I've had my fair share of drugs and my fair share of violence

Fair share of pubs, clubs, and all-nighters

Relationships, they made me skitz

But I stomach the downfalls and take them in

It's a puzzling world, it's hard to make shit fit

It's a challenge like a parent trying to raise ten kids

It's one step forwards and two steps backwards

And, what's important, we soon stop to practice

I've been a boy, and then a man who got burned

And I've seen the barren landscape of a wrong turn

I'm only 21, I've got a lot more to learn

And I'm sure I'll learn more in the long-term

It's like


[Chorus]

Sometimes we take a wrong turn

If we try, we can get back on track again

And faults in the past can lead to improvement

Learn from mistakes and just keep moving

Sometimes we take a wrong turn

If we try, we can get back on track again

And faults in the past can lead to improvement

Learn from mistakes and just keep moving


[Verse 2]

If you were there, and saw how my family split

When my world crashed down and calamity hit

You would've seen the tragic detour

Down the liquid devil river lighting wicks to my C4

Vice was a bottle and that's what I reached for

Lost in oblivion, move ignorantly forward

'Til I backtracked and re-formed

And the journey gave a new appreciation to a clean norm

A lot of people see shit in their lives

I find the dark days give a definition of light

I find the dark days and the truly miserable times

Are the ones that give us strength and the will to survive

And at the time, it might not be easy, I know this

When all avenues will seem hopeless

With all these sensations, experimentation

Can lead to the road less taken


[Chorus]

Sometimes we take a wrong turn

If we try, we can get back on track again

And faults in the past can lead to improvement

Learn from mistakes and just keep moving

Sometimes we take a wrong turn

If we try, we can get back on track again

And faults in the past can lead to improvement

Learn from mistakes and just keep moving


[Verse 3]

I'm no preacher, no saint, no teacher, no sage

And I know it's cliché, but no pain, no gain

I've learned to accept some things won't change

But you've got a chance though, if you hold faith

I don't know my destination yet, I bet

I'll make plenty of mistakes again and again

I respect that with faith you won't see what's ahead

You won't learn a lesson if you hold the press

So I guess it's just a mixed bag, draw of luck

When you travel down life and the course is rough

When we don't know what hold support for us

When we don't know what type of wars will come

And you gotta keep moving on

Even when the turns that we take are the ones that are wrong

It's the ones that are wrong that are keeping us strong

So we get to the place we belong


[Chorus]

Sometimes we take a wrong turn

If we try, we can get back on track again

And faults in the past can lead to improvement

Learn from mistakes and just keep moving

Sometimes we take a wrong turn

If we try, we can get back on track again

And faults in the past can lead to improvement

Learn from mistakes and just keep moving

Sometimes we take a wrong turn

If we try, we can get back on track again

And faults in the past can lead to improvement

Learn from mistakes and just keep moving

Sometimes we take a wrong turn

If we try, we can get back on track again

And faults in the past can lead to improvement

Learn from mistakes and just keep moving


[Outro]

Life stays that way

Life stays that way

Life stays that way

Life stays that way
