Mistakes Songtext

von Shearwater

"After all the times you've been turned around, will you never be ready now? After all the times that we stood your ground, will you never be steady now?
And of course we'll send the check, you can just write in the amount - just let us know the house and town. So if you're going to wreck you can still be safe and sound. And just let us know and we'll come down.
Everybody makes mistakes - some do most of all. I just don't have what it takes, they're singing as they fall. Everybody makes mistakes, some more than the rest. And that's what some do best.
But you won't be distressed, you say I'll break all the way down, and then all these pieces will be easy to sort out. Well, we can't wait."
