Mistakes Songtext
von Scout

Take me back to living reckless
We used to burn off days like red hot dust
You laying next to me in the backseat
Looking like an angel, playing people like a game
How long ′til it stops hurting?
'Til I can take the long way past your house
′Til I say, "Fuck it, what's the point?"
And then I text you when I'm drunk
How long? Yeah, how long?

′Cause I see you in places you′re not
My friends say, "Don't," but I′m still stuck
And you moved on, but I, I've not
I wish I could, but I can′t stop

Baby, how can I explain?
You're stuck right here in my brain
It′s a crash, can't look away
You make me wanna make mistakes
You make me wanna make mistakes


I used to think I'm level-headed
Not one to throw it all aside
For someone who′d love me like a train wreck
So selfishly unsure, so beautifully flawed
Took me watching from the sidelines
To make a speech about self-respect
You moving on just like it′s nothing
To make me realise you were made to romanticise

'Cause I see you in places you′re not
My friends say, "Don't," but I′m still stuck
And you moved on, but I, I've not
I wish I could, but I can′t stop

Baby, how can I explain?
You're stuck right here in my brain
It's a crash, can′t look away
You make me wanna make mistakes
You make me wanna make mistakes

If you move across the Earth
I know how bad it will hurt
Honey, watch me make it worse
You make me wanna make mistakes
Mistakes, yeah, mistakes


I keep wondering if there′s meaning
To all these sliding doors
Or if one day I'll spot you
Inside the hardware store
Making awkward small talk about
What we′re doing now
And then I'll call my friends and say
"I think that you were right"
