Verse 1

I cut the first line, put it back

I tried the clean take, it went flat

I moved the hook a little late

Now nothing lands the proper way

I kept the wrong part by mistake

That was the only thing with shape

I made it perfect, made it small

Now there’s no pull in it at all

Pre-Chorus

I know, I know, I touched it twice

I know, I know, I killed the bite

I said one more, I said one more

Now I don’t know what I came for

Chorus

I had it right

Then I fixed it twice

I kept on pulling

Till it came untied

I had it right

Now it won’t sit right

I made it cleaner

And killed the bite

Post-Hook

Put it back

Put it back

Put the wrong take back

Run it back

Run it back

Let the rough part pass

Verse 2

I raised the bass, it lost the swing

I clipped the edge off everything

The first mistake was more alive

Than all the safe ones I refined

I made the best part too polite

I kept the words but lost the fight

I knew the cut was going wrong

But I still dragged the ending on

Pre-Chorus

I know, I know, I touched it twice

I know, I know, I killed the bite

I said one more, I said one more

Now I don’t know what I came for

Chorus

I had it right

Then I fixed it twice

I kept on pulling

Till it came untied

I had it right

Now it won’t sit right

I made it cleaner

And killed the bite

Bridge

Leave the mark

Leave the miss

Leave the part

I almost fixed

Leave the line

Let it trip

That was the one

That made it hit

Final Chorus

I had it right

Then I fixed it twice

I kept on pulling

Till it came untied

I had it right

Now it won’t sit right

I made it cleaner

And killed the bite

Outro

Put it back

Put it back

Put the wrong take back

I had it right

I had it right
