I'm gonna make a mistake
I'm gonna do it on purpose
I'm gonna make a mistake
I'm gonna do it on purpose
And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't really have a choice
And I don't understand, I never understand, but I'll try to understand
There's nothing else I can do
He said, "It's all in your head," and I said, "So's everything," but he didn't get it
Let this thing run its route
Fast as you can
Made a merry paramour of me
O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
And when the day is done
And I look backΒ and the fact is
Β I had fun, fumbling around
All the advice I shunned
It ended bad, but I love what we started
They said "stop" β but we went on whole-hearted
It ended bad, but I love what we started
I took off my glasses while you were yelling at me once, more than once
But not with me
'Cause I don't appreciate
People who don't appreciate
Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats
Have them celebrate your name
Have them forge you a pedigree, and then you'll be
Left to run the races lame
I root for you, I love you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you
It's all I'll do 'cause I'm not free
A fugitive too dull to flee
You, you, you, you
I root for you, I love you
You, you, you
At best they buy you time
And my big secret, gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with mood
I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard
I'll invade your demeanor
And Iβm not benefiting, instead
Iβm sitting singing again, singing again, singing again
It was a filthy pane of glass
I couldn't get a clear view
And as he went on and on
It wasn't the outside world I could see
Does that scare you? I'll let you run away
But your heart will not oblige you
You'll remember me like a melody
And when it counts you recoil with a cryptic word
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damn breeze dry my face
Just mush
And that signature thing is only growing harrowing
I should have no trouble nowΒ to keep from following, so
Why did I kiss him so hard late last Friday night
But me and everybody's on the sad same team
You'll say you understand but you don't understand
You'll say you'll never give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
But it's to no avail, and I don't want the bail
I promise you, everything will be just fine
Though I try to talk sense to myself
But I just won't listen
Though I try to talk sense to myself
But I just won't listen
Won't you go away, turn yourself in
You say you don't spook easy
You won't go, but I know
And I pray that you will
Fast as you can, baby
And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
A vacancy that just did not belong
They said "stop" β but we went on whole-hearted
