The Best Mistakes

I've thumbed the dog-eared pages of my paperback life Re-read confusing passages that never worked out right All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here All the fights and late night conversations All the wasted tears Well, I have made my fair share of mistakes I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake And I don't regret a single day They were the best mistakes I've ever made (The best mistakes I've ever made) I've tried to throw the past out I've tried to shed my skin (shed my skin) But the days go by so fast now I kind of like remembering The young man sitting at the station in a world of his own The new sound, the overnight sensation Flying so high that I couldn't let go Well, I have made my fair share of mistakes I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake And I don't regret a single day They were the best mistakes I've ever made They were the best mistakes I've ever made I did my time on the merry-go-round And if I had to choose between then and now I'd choose now All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here All the fights and late night conversations All the wasted tears Well, I have made my fair share of mistakes I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake (wasted tears) And I don't regret a single day They were the best mistakes I've ever made Well, I have made my fair share of mistakes I've been a poet, a preacher, a fool, and a rake And I don't regret a single day They were the best mistakes I've ever made (The best mistakes I've ever made) They were the best mistakes I've ever made
