The Same Mistakes

And so it has to change, the notebook's now in pieces
Words we'll never sing
I know you'll say I've simply jumped the gun and that they've won
But you can't keep making the same mistakes

You see I've had this thought
It took it's time in coming but now won't be denied
I'd always gone about these thing all wrong but not this song
'Cause you can't keep making the same mistakes
No you can't keep making the same mistakes

Can't jump ship just yet, there's no one at the wheel
Someone has to steer, get a hold of yourself
Keep your head there's no time to waste
Can't jump ship just yet, there's no one at the wheel
Someone has to steer, get a hold of yourself
Keep your head there's no time to waste

You'll see it soon enough but all is not forgotten
And now's no time for tears
'Cause though that boy has died this one still lives and now there's life
And a chance to make up for all those mistakes

But please don't get me wrong,
'Cause everything was honest, true and from the heart
There's still the same old hang ups so don't fret, it's not safe yet
And who knows there's always time to screw up again

But maybe we'll be cool
'Cause you were made an offer you could not refuse
You made me come alive and see my face, see my grace
And we grow or do we just haul it around?
