My Mistake Songtext
von Dave Hause

She was hanging ′round in her small town crown
With the king of shit mountain, the prom king clown
Trying to keep his grip clutching to her hip
We locked eyes and I dived, and the king got clipped

And it was my mistake
I was asleep but now I'm wide awake
Wide awake
My mistake
Turned me around, it took the time it takes
I was asleep and it was my mistake

I′d lost my aim playing a young man's game
Always loving something different 'til it′s all the same
Stumbling along, stiff drinks and songs
I′d gotten pretty good at getting gone


Oh, it was my mistake
I was asleep but now I'm wide awake
Wide awake
My mistake
Turned me around, it took the time it takes
My mistake

Sweetness
I never felt this kind of
Eat this
It′s either real or this is
Weakness
Don't wanna listen to my head
Oh, sweetness
Oh, listen to my head

We spent a thousand nights under the neon lights
Just feeding our destructive little appetites
Time went by and I decided not to fight
She dared me to clean up and maybe I just might
Gonna swear off my abandon and clear my sights


Oh, my mistake
Oh, my mistake
I was asleep but now I′m wide awake
Wide awake
My mistake
Turned me around, it took the time it takes
I was asleep and now I'm wide awake
