Wrong or Right
Surf Trash Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ll pick you up, I guess
Quarter past midnight and I need to rest
But I hope you wear that red dress I like
Sit back, relax, watch time go by

Wrong or right, make up your mind
Wrong or right, make up your mind
Wrong or right, make up your mind

Wrong or right, stop killing time
Stop killing time, woohoo
Stop killing time, woohoo

Everything happens for a reason
Don't blame me for getting in a fight with treason
Hold me down and beat me slow ′cause I really need to know if you're

Wrong or right, make up your mind
Wrong or right, make up your mind
Wrong or right, make up your mind
Wrong or right, stop killing time

Wrong or right
Wrong or right
Wrong or right
Wrong or right
Wrong or right
Wrong or right
Wrong or right
Wrong or right

Stop killing time

Stop killing time
Oh, oh

I’ll pick you up, I guess
I’ll come get you, but I’m not really sure

Quarter past midnight and I need to rest
It’s late and I’m tired

But I hope you wear that red dress I like
I hope you wear the dress that makes you look good

Sit back, relax, watch time go by
Let’s just hang out and not worry about anything

Wrong or right, make up your mind
You need to decide what you want

Stop killing time
Don’t waste any more time

Everything happens for a reason
Things happen for a purpose

Don't blame me for getting in a fight with treason
Don’t fault me for fighting against betrayal

Hold me down and beat me slow ‘cause I really need to know if you're
Help me get clarity on what you want
