My Mistake

(альбом: Bury Me in Philly - 2017)

She was hanging round in her small town crown
With the king of shit mountain, the prom king clown
Trying to keep his grip clutching to her hip
We locked eyes in that dive and the king got clipped

It was my mistake
I was asleep but now I'm wide awake, wide awake
My mistake turned me around
It took the time it takes
I was asleep and it was my mistake

I had lost my aim playing a young man's game
Always loving something different till it's all the same
Stumbling along stiff drinks and songs
I'd gotten pretty good at getting gone

It was my mistake
I was asleep but now I'm wide awake, wide awake
My mistake turned me around
It took the time it takes
I was asleep and it was my mistake

Sweetness
I never felt this kinda heat this
Is either real or this is weakness
Don't wanna listen to my head
Oh Sweetness
Oh listen to my head

We spent 1000 nights under the neon lights
Just feeding our destructive little appetites
Time went by and I decided not to fight
She dared me to clean up and maybe I just might
Gonna swear off my abandon and clear my sights

Oh my mistake
Oh my mistake
I was asleep but now I'm wide awake, wide awake
My mistake turned me around
It took the time it takes
I was asleep but now I'm wide awake
