"The Wrong Place" lyrics

"The Wrong Place"

I wake up and I think I could use another drink
I'm reaching for a smoke to forget about last night, last night
I get up 'cause I need a shot of instant remedy
I put a record on, it makes me think about last night, last night

It all ended in the weirdest trip
He started acting way too hip
That's why I ignored you for a long, long time
But then you had the best opening line
You're in the wrong place

You're lying next to me, I don't know where to hide
I see his smiley face that makes me wanna cry
What was I thinking? 'Cause all we did was fight
Don't you ever dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt

You're in the wrong place, you're in the wrong place

You wake up and you think you won't need another drink
You don't want me to smoke, though I didn't stop last night, last night
You get up 'cause you need an organic cup of tea
You put a record on, it makes you think about last night, last night

You confuse me with your blurry eyes
Thought you were a different kind of guy
That's why I took you to my messy place
But it felt as if we were in a different space
You're in the wrong place

You're lying next to me, I don't know where to hide
I see his smiley face that makes me wanna cry
What was I thinking? 'Cause all we did was fight
Don't you ever dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt

You're in the wrong place, you're in the wrong place
You're in the wrong place, you're in the wrong place
You're in the wrong place, you're in the wrong place
Don't you ever dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt

"The Wrong Place" was Belgium's entry at 2021 Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam. The song, released on the 4th of March 2021, was selected by the national broadcasters Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie and Radio Télévision Belge de la Communauté Française.
Alex Callier, member of the band, explained during the morning show of Peter Van de Veire at MNM, that this song was a 100% Belgian product, written by a Flemish (himself) and Walloon songwriter. He wrote the song together with the Charlotte Foret.
This song marks the first music by Hooverphonic after their reunion. Lead singer Geike Arnaert, who returned to the band, replacing their lead singer Luka Cruysberghs, said, "A lot has changed, but it still feels very familiar and I feel at home." Alex Callier added about the matter, "All three of us felt an urge to start working again. We are still the 'core of Hooverphonic' which is for a lot of people the main setup of the band."
