Mistakes We Should Have Made
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You look at me through your red glasses
While the yellow cab waits
We've been thinking 'bout our soulmates
Too long
Let's take a night off
Admit they're gone
Not everybody gets to feel this way
Not everybody gets stuck so bad
We've been talking 'bout who we had
Too much
Let's cut to the bone
Let's give it up
If we start right now, we can figure out
The mistakes we should have made
We can hypnotize all our wandering eyes
With the games we should have played
The mistakes we should have made
I wanna burn it down to rubble
I want my future delayed
I wanna make sure all my aces
Get played
A firework's gotta' crack before it fades
It's the one night we're keeping off the books
The one night that we can stand accused
The one night that we have to lose
Control
Let's settle the bill
Let's rock n' roll
If we start right now, we can figure out
The mistakes we should have made
We can hypnotize all our wandering eyes
With the games we should have played
The mistakes we should have made
All of this nonsense, past-tense living
All this high rent, soul bent existence
All these night shift, "what if" questions
All these taboo, rearview obsessions
If we start right now, we can figure out
The mistakes we should have made
We can hypnotize all our wandering eyes
With the games we should have played
The mistakes we should have made
The mistakes we should have made
