Same Mistakes
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.
Circles, we’re going in circles
Dizzy’s all it makes us
We know where it takes us
We've been before
Closer, maybe looking closer
There's more to discover
Find out what went wrong without blaming each other
Think that we got more time
When we're falling behind
Gotta make up our minds
Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
And we take, take, take it for granted that we’ll be the same
But we're making all the same mistakes
Wake up, we both need to wake up
Maybe if we face up to this
We can make it through this
Closer, maybe we'll be closer
Stronger than we were before, yeah
Make this something more, yeah
Think that we got more time
When we're falling behind
Gotta make up our minds
Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
And we take, take, take it for granted that we’ll be the same
But we're making all the same mistakes
Yeah, yeah, that's what crazy is
When it's broken, you say there's nothing to fix
And you pray, pray, pray that everything will be okay
While you're making all the same mistakes
Don't look back
But if we don't look back
We’re only learning then
How to make all same mis-, same mistakes again
So we play, play, play all the same old games (same mistakes)
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change (when nothing's gonna change)
And we take, take, take it for granted that we’ll be the same (well nothing's gonna be the same)
But we're making all the same mistakes
Yeah, yeah, that's what crazy is (crazy is)
When it's broken, you say there's nothing to fix (there's nothing to fix)
And you pray, pray, pray that everything will be okay (everything will be okay)
While you're making all the same mistakes
