The Same Mistakes

And so it has to change The notebook's now in pieces Words we'll never sing I know you'll say I've simply jumped the gun And that they've won But you can't keep making the same mistakes You see I've had this thought It took its time in coming But now won't be denied I'd always gone about these thing all wrong But not this song 'Cause you can't keep making the same mistakes No you can't keep making the same mistakes Can't jump ship just yet There's no one at the wheel Someone has to steer Get a hold of yourself Keep your head there's no time to waste You'll see it soon enough But all is not forgotten And now's no time for tears 'Cause though that boy has died this one still lives And now there's life And a chance to make up for all those mistakes But please don't get me wrong 'Cause everything was honest True and from the heart There's still the same old hang ups so don't fret It's not safe yet And who knows there's always time to screw up again But maybe we'll be cool 'Cause you were made an offer You could not refuse You made me come alive and see my face See my grace And we grow or do we just haul it around? --- The Same Mistakes - The Cooper Temple Clause
