Lyrics

A Mistake

It's clearly not the best thing you could do
With your time right now, but try telling you that
But you just keep coming back towards
Like an excitable dog, and his trusty bone
There's something about, do it again
Because it seems so right it must be wrong
But do you have any other options
What with the parallel you do

But it's so hard to know what to do
I don't blame you for going crazy, I don't blame you at all
It seems so hard to not make the mistake
Again and again
Over and over
For peace of mind you just tell yourself
You've made a mistake, everybody does it
So you just say it may not be the right choice
But it's the choice, and you're only human

It's a mistake that you want to make
It's a mistake that you want to make
It's a mistake that you want to make
It's a mistake that you want to make

You're call, it'll come, pulling up to a house
In a house is a room, in the room, is a desk
In the desk, is a file, with your name, on the front
And inside, is your life, is your life

It's a mistake that you want to make
It's a mistake that you want to make
It's a mistake that you want to make
It's a mistake that you want to make
