Wrong
Deep Dish Feat. Everything But The Girl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanted everything for a little while
Why shouldn't I?
I wanted to know what it was like
But I pushed you too far

I know
And you started laying down the law
'Til I didn't love you any more
Now you can pull a little bit

There's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
But finally it's gonna break

Wherever you go I will follow you,
'Cause I was wrong

Wherever you go I will follow you,
'Cause I was wrong

So there we both were in that little house
Just hanging out
You didn't know what you were about
You turned to me as you were

Threading daisies on a chain
And you said, "It's decision time again"
Now you can pull a little bit
There's a little give and take

And love will stretch a little bit
But finally it's gonna break

Wherever you go I will follow you
'Cause I was wrong.

Wherever you go I will follow you
'Cause I was wrong.

And the ground's gonna swallow you
I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong

I wanted everything for a little while.
Why shouldn't I?
I wanted to know what he was like.
Now you can pull a little bit,

There's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
But finally it's gonna break.

Wherever you go I will follow you,
'Cause I was wrong

Wherever you go I will follow you,
'Cause I was wrong

Wherever you go I will follow you,
'Cause I was wrong





Wherever you go I will follow you,
'Cause I was wrong

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Deep Dish feat. Everything But The Girl's song Wrong depict a story of a person who wanted everything for a little while and pushed their partner to the limit. They were curious to know what it was like to have it all and did not consider the consequences of their actions until it was too late. The partner had to lay down the law, and the love between them started to break. Despite this, the person still wants to follow their partner wherever they go because they recognize that they were wrong.


The song is powerful in its portrayal of the fragility of love and the consequences of taking someone for granted. It shows that love can stretch only so far before it breaks, and once it's gone, it's gone. The person who acknowledges that they were wrong has learned a valuable lesson and is now willing to make amends by following their partner wherever they go.


Overall, the song is a poignant reminder that love requires effort, attention, and care. It takes two people to make it work, and both parties need to be committed to making it last. In the end, following our hearts and being honest with ourselves and our partners is the only way to form a lasting and fulfilling relationship.
