lyrics

At 7:14, my thumb slipped fast

Sent your name a plea I meant for the past

The screen went blue in my coffee shop booth

You read it at 7:15 and told me the truth

You wrote, “Boy, you missed your mark”

But then you kept that spark

Said, “Meet me on South Lamar tonight”

And I nearly dropped my phone in the light

Wrong number, right place

Wrong number, right place

Wrong number, right place

Wrong number, right place

You answered me slow, and you smiled that way

I came in by the door with the hinge that moans

Boots still muddy from the Barton Creek stones

You had two chipped mugs on a scarred-up tray

And one red marker on a diner bill sleeve today

You said, “That text found me clean”

Like a trick in a dream

Then you laughed when the sugar bowl slid

And your hand found mine like it always did

Wrong number, right place

Wrong number, right place

Wrong number, right place

Wrong number, right place

You answered me slow, and you smiled that way

Now my old phone sits face down on the wood

But I check it like a fool, and it does some good

If I miss my turn, I still land near you

In a worn-out booth with the vinyl torn through

Wrong number, right place

Wrong number, right place

Wrong number, right place

Wrong number, right place

You answered me slow, and you smiled that way
