Cover art for Wrong Turn lyrics by Jack Johnson

It could e based on a relationship, on something similar. Perhaps it's just an overgaurding feeling of loving someone so much you would watch over them -- and most itmes people relate that to a boyfriend/girlfriend aspect.

"And I will wait here awhile Just long enough to be sure that you didn’t make a wrong turn"

This could be during the relationship, where he is constantly watching over her -- making sure she doesn't make a wrong turn.

"And I wait long enough Maybe an hour or two Before I decide It wasn’t me it was you Wasn't me it was you."

And this starts the break-up. One of the most common phrases is: "It's me, it's my fault." But perhaps he's holding anger behind -- because she did make a wrong turn, and it was her fault.

"And I would like you to know Although it seems sad to say This was only the worst hour of my day The worst hour of my day"

After a break up, there is usually mutual feelings of hate for eachother. A competition to see, "who is over it first."

"How long has it been on your mind? Do you think about it when we lie?"

At this point, a while after the break-up, he wonders if she still wants the relationship back. And all those 'lies', being the 'Only worse hour of my day' -- do they still think about them?

"I think it’s a big mistake Cause I think that we could make it last Even if it’s just for awhile."

And the regret starts pouring in. He regrets not giving them another chance, and realizes they could continue it -- if only for a little longer.

"Wait here for now Just along enough to be Sure that you really want to go through with this Cause I really wanna go through with this And do you really wanna go through with this?"

At this point, the relationship is refreshed and new -- and do they really both want to go through with this again?
