About This Track

'Never Been Wrong' by Waxahatchee is a rock track from the album 'Out in the Storm' (2017). The lyrics cast a pointed, adversarial mood, with the narrator marshalling strategy to outmanoeuvre someone else and take satisfaction in being right, even as the final verdict suggests an overwhelming advantage. The repeated emphasis on “being right”, and the images of waking early, lying in wait, and taking the bait, give it the feel of a coldly precise counter, dressed up as intimacy.

"Never Been Wrong" is a single by Waxahatchee, from the album Out in the Storm, released 13th July 2017. The track is 3:12 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 13 articles about Waxahatchee.

Lyrics

Never Been Wrong

I spent all my time learning how to defeat
You at your own game, it's embarrassing
I walk around like this is the last strike
I love being right, especially with you

Now I wake up early
I ruffle, I lie in wait
All your tragic fiction
I always take the bait

But the margin's gigantic
Am I happy or manic
Does it make you feel good to blend in with the wall

Everyone will hear me complain
Everyone will pity my pain

You'll play defense
Evading the nonsense
Does it make you feel good
To watch me stumbling in the dark

You're smoking and laughing
Untethered and carefree
And I will unravel
When no one sees what I see

You walk around like
It's your god-given right
And you love being right
You've never been wrong
