Same Mistake

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.

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh

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

Ooh

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh

(Ooh) saw the world turning in my sheets

(Ooh) and once again, I cannot sleep

(Ooh) walk out the door and up the street

(Ooh) look at the stars

(Ooh) look at the stars fall down

(Ooh) and wonder where

(Ooh) did I go wrong
