Lyrics

Great Mistake

[Verse 1]

Thoughts that need repenting

Feelings in need of mending

Skin that tastes like candy

Words without understanding

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Shook me by day

Shook me if that's okay

Oh, aye

Shook me by day

[Chorus]

If it was, I'd look away

But I'm not so I guess I'll stay

It's such a great mistake to make

What's done is done

I can't help but feel insane

You build me up to build me down

It's such a great mistake to make

And it could never be undone

[Verse 2]

We share of subtleties and strange tendencies

This fair never-ending

No need for pretending

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Shook me by day

Shook me if that's okay

Okay

Shook me by day

[Chorus] (2x)

If it was, I'd look away

But I'm not so I guess I'll stay

It's such a great mistake to make

What's done is done

I can't help but feel insane

You build me up to build me down

It's such a great mistake to make

And it could never be undone
