Mistakes - Shearwater

After all the times you’ve been turned around

Will you never be ready now?

After all the times that we stood your ground

Will you never be steady now?

Everybody makes mistakes

Some do most of all

I just don’t have what it takes

They’re singing as they fall

Everybody makes mistakes

Some more than the rest

Yeah, that’s what some do best

But you won’t be distressed

And of course we’ll send the check

You can just write in the amount

Just let us know the house and town

So if you’re going to wreck

You can still be safe and sound

And just let us know and we’ll come down

Everybody makes mistakes

The phone lines are shot through

Causing everybody pain

Sitting in for us and you

Everybody makes mistakes

Some more than the rest

Yeah, that’s what some do best

But you won’t be distressed

You say, «I'll break all the way down

And then all these pieces will be easy to sort out»

Well, we can’t wait

We can’t wait
