A Mistake

I'm gonna make a mistake

I'm gonna do it on purpose

I'm gonna waste my time

'Cause I'm full as a tick

And I'm scratching at the surface

And what I find is mine

And when the day is done, and I look back

And the fact is, I had fun fumblin' around

All the advice I shunned, and ran

Where they told me not to run, but I sure had fun

So, I'm gonna fuck it up again

I'm gonna do another detour

Unpave my path

And if you wanna make sense

What you looking at me for?

I'm no good at math

And when I find my way back

The fact is, I just may stay

Or I may not

I've acquired quite a taste

For a well-made mistake

I wanna make a mistake

Why can't I make a mistake?

I'm always doing what I think I should

Almost always doing everybody good

Why?

Do I wanna do right? Of course, but

Do I really wanna feel

I'm forced to answer you? Hell, no

I've acquired quite a taste

For a well-made mistake

I wanna make a mistake

Why can't I make a mistake?

I'm always doing what I think I should

Almost always doing everybody good

Why?
