MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA
"The Mistake"
(Andy Hull / Manchester Orchestra)

I don't want to die alone
Tell me there's another option for me
Standing like I should have known
I knew you'd accidentally look right inside of me

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
There's nothing anybody could say
There was nothing anybody could do
You made up your absent mind
And now the rest of us are here to amuse you

[Chorus:]
Everybody I know makes the same mistakes
Packaged up in different boxes, masking shame

Laying on the carpet spilt
You told me you were fairly sure that you'd marry him
Embryonic accidents, a native knife, you gotta finally bury it

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
There's nothing anybody could say
There was nothing anybody could do
Everybody's got their day
So number wisely if you know what's best for you, man

[Chorus:]
Everybody I know makes the same mistakes
Packaged up in different boxes, masking shame

[Bridge:]
I don't want to walk away from you
I don't want to walk away from you
I don't want to walk away from you
I don't want to walk away, but you let me

[Outro:]
And now the wheels are falling off of the car
Beside the hundred meter grave in the yard
Everybody here feels sorry for us
