Same Mistake (iTunes Live London Festival '08) Songtext
von James Blunt

Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong,
So here I go

Hello, hello
There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy.
Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me,
So here I go.

And so I sent some men to fight,
And one came back at dead of night.
Said he′d seen my enemy.
Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.


I'm not calling for a second chance,
I′m screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I′ll just make the same mistake again.

And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Don′t buy the promises 'cause,
There are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me,
So here I go

I′m not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don′t give me choice.
'Cause I′ll just make the same mistake

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason but don′t give me choice.
′Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.

Saw the world turning in my sheets
And once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars.
Look at the stars fall down.
And wonder where did I go wrong.
