Shooting off vicious collections of words The losers make facts by the things they have heard And I find myself trying hard to defend them I made decisions some right and some wrong And I let some love go I wish wasn't gone These things and more I wish I had not done But I can't go back And I don't want to 'Cause all my mistakes They brought me to you I have some "friends" they don't know who I am So I write quotations around the word friends But I have a couple that have always been there for me And I missed some fun 'cause I worked through the dawn Expecting your praise when I returned home But I paid the cost 'cause I got left alone for the songs But I can't go back And I don't want to 'Cause all my mistakes They brought me to you

Half of my mistakes i made stone cold sober Half of my mistakes i've made at closing time Half the time i never saw it coming until it was over Oh, and half of my mistakes i've made with love on the line Half of my mistakes i swear, i should've known better Half of my mistakes were just amongst friends You get a little distance on it, the truth is clearer Oh, and half of my mistakes i'd probably make 'em again Chorus: If i had it all to do over I'm sure i'd win and lose just as much But spend less time on right and wrong And alot more time on love Half of my mistakes i've made cause i was movin' too quickly Half of them were made 'cause my heart was movin' too slow Nobody can tell you a damn thing, if you ain't listening Oh, and half of my mistakes i've made 'Cause i couldn't let go Repeat chorus Half of my mistakes i'd give anything to change how it ended Oh, and half of my mistakes, God, i wouldn't change one thing You can lean too hard on a prayer but i don't recommend it 'Cause half the good things in my life Came from half of my mistakes Yeah, a lot of good things in my life Came from half of my mistakes

About as subtle as an earthquake, I know My mistakes were made for you And in the back room of a bad dream she came And whisked me away, enthused And it's as solid as a rock rolling down a hill The fact is that it probably will hit something On the hazardous terrain And we're just following the flock 'round and in between Before we smash to smithereens like they were And we scramble from the blame And it's the fame that put words in her mouth She couldn't help but spit 'em out Innocence and arrogance entwined In the filthiest of minds She was bitten on her birthday and now A face in the crowd, she's not And I suspect that now, forever the shape She came to escape is forgot And it's a lot to ask her not to sting And give her less than everything Around your crooked conscience she will wind 'Cause we're just following the flock 'round and in between Before we smash to smithereens like they were And we scramble from the blame And it's the fame that put words in her mouth She couldn't help but spit 'em out Around your crooked conscience she will wind And it's a lot to ask her not to sting And give her less than everything Innocence and arrogance entwined

Hey darling, where you going with that, Look in your eyes I won't hesitate to assume that you've, Had it sort of bad But there is some good news to this So dry off your eye Cause where we goin, there's no trouble showin, so Come on up let's take a ride I've been seein' double lately, Need a place to go, We're headin' back to Paluja baby And we're never gonna come back home And now you've gotta admit, It's been awhile since I've seen fun myself, We're growing kind of old, From the same old boring things we're told, but It doesn't matter, the past is scattered And I think I see a sign Summertime is on the line, Let's get lost in the sunshine I've been seein' double lately, Need a place to go, We're headin' back to Paluja baby And we're never gonna come back home I've been seein' double lately, Need a place to go, We're headin' back to Paluja baby And we're never gonna come back home I've been seein' double lately, Need a place to go, We're headin' back to Paluja baby And we're never gonna come back home

Morning through the afternoon Matching colours with my mood I try to stay corrected With the hours gone while we're resting I got plans, but probably not for long It's getting late into the afternoon And we can be lazy together When time slows down I hope you stick around We're in our little world alone Honey you make me feel at home I owe these days to you Baby it's true I got plans, but probably not for long It's getting late into the afternoon And we can be lazy together When time slows down I hope you stick around I got plans, but probably not for long It's getting late into the afternoon And we can be lazy together When time slows down I hope you stick around I got plans, but probably not for long It's getting late into the afternoon And we can be lazy together When time slows down I hope you stick around

Another day of doing nothing again It's been too long since I've seen my friends Nothing to do with all the time to spend Days keep getting longer and the nights never end And I know It's my own fault, that I say I'll call you Even though I won't 'Cause at the end of the day, I don't know what I'd say So I'll just leave you alone Waking up but I just stay in bed Trying to get you off my mind instead I don't remember all the things I said Losing memories somewhere in my head And I know It's my own fault, that I say I'll call you Even though I won't 'Cause at the end of the day, I don't know what I'd say So I'll just leave you alone And I know It's my own fault, that I say I'll call you Even though I won't 'Cause at the end of the day, I don't know what I'd say That you don't already know And It's my own fault, that I say I'll call you Even though I won't 'Cause at the end of the day, I don't know what I'd say So I'll just leave you alone Leave you alone So I'll just leave you alone Leave you alone

The way I'm living just can't carry on Finding time, to change who I give my time To string along You try to change my ways But ask me to be myself Pull me back and forth Until you find somebody else Clear my thoughts Try to make a little room Start to see the past From a different point of view But it helps you to know There's no one quite like you Keep me thinking That things are running smooth I'll find my worries in your unexpected moves It's always what it seems Unless you're feeling blue Someone, second to none Until it's overdue Clear my thoughts Try to make a little room Start to see the past From a different point of view But it helps you to know There's no one quite like you Who can bring me down Or send me over the moon Take off so fast And leave without a clue But it helps you to know There's no one quite like you Walk away I'm left behind A different day, a different time
