John Farrell on "I Guess I Was Wrong":
“‘I Guess I Was Wrong’ is the first song I wrote out of the other six tracks. Lyrically it resembles my rather melancholy personality, as most of my songs do. Musically, I found that the folky guitar and harmonica juxtaposed against a very Beatle-esque drum and bass pattern made for an intriguing compilation.”
lyrics
A hard cold stare lookin me over
On a face that I know you wouldn’t wear sober.
And it hurts, but its life and I know
That it’s harder to face alone.
And it plays in my mind over and over.
So it’s hard for me now
To keep my head level.
And I wish I could paint us a new world,
But I know I could paint my self in a corner.
Well Jesus Christ, no one told me it could be so hard
Seen only twenty-two years and walkin around thinking
I knew it all.
But shalalala, I guess I was wrong.
But I, I’ll find my love again.
