the moon swan glides

You stepped up to the mic with a formula planned Asking how to get a grip on what you don't understand You wanted data and metrics, a roadmap to the prize But you built a massive house on a foundation of lies You asked me how to fix a engine that was already dead Instead of asking where the road was gonna lead you instead It was the wrong question, yeah, you misread the signs Chasing after pennies while you threw away dimes But the pivot was beautiful, the glitch in the code Sent us driving down a completely different road The error in your logic was a blessing in disguise Flashing like a neon sign right before your eyes. Chorus The wrong question was the right suggestion A beautiful mistake that changed the whole direction You asked for a map but you needed a compass Turned a quiet failure into sonic abundance Yeah, you missed the mark but you hit the jackpot Finding exactly what you needed where you thought it was not. Verse 2 You asked for more speed but you needed more traction An unexpected detour caused a chain reaction We stopped looking at the wall and we looked at the floor Turns out the window you broke was a brand new door The prompt was a miss but the output was fire Ignited a completely different type of desire If I gave you what you wanted, you’d be stuck in the past Building plastic structures that were never gonna last So shout out to the blunders, the misses, the breaks The highest forms of art are just curated mistakes We took the wrong path right into the light Proving that a left turn can make it all right. Chorus The wrong question was the right suggestion A beautiful mistake that changed the whole direction You asked for a map but you needed a compass Turned a quiet failure into sonic abundance Yeah, you missed the mark but you hit the jackpot Finding exactly what you needed where you thought it was not
