Lyrics

Common Mistake

Choose your life
Choose your life
Choose your life
Choose your life

They float around beside you
And in your ear, they guide you
You don't believe you know you
It's hard to find your own truth

'Cause what you know
Is already a lie
They changed it up
Many thousands of times
You'll never get
To the bottom of why, no
They did it to you this time

I float around beside you
And though it's hard to find you
I don't believe I'd want to
Go anywhere before you

'Cause what you know
Is already a lie
They changed it up
Many thousands of times
You'll never get
To the bottom of why, no
They did it to you this time

This is your life
It's a common mistake
You'll be alright
Just give more than you take
This is your life
It's a common mistake
You'll be alright
Just give more than you take
This is your life
It's a common mistake
You'll be alright
Just give more than you take
This is your life
It's a common mistake
You'll be alright
Just give more than you take

Every word that they heard from you
They hold down beside you
Every word that they heard from you
They hold down beside you
Every word that they heard from you
They hold down beside you
Every word that they heard from you
They hold down beside you
