Mistake

On a day like today

When I do everything I always say I won't

Just when things were riding fine

I lose sight of the line

Between do and don't

If I'm gonna make a mistake

It's gonna be big

Why sip it if I can drink it down

Why hold it if I can pass it around

And around

And around

On a day like today

When I can find the faith or will to pray

I can match the sky grey for grey

If you can't get me high

Best get out of my way

If I'm gonna make a mistake

It's gonna be big

Why sip it if I can drink it down

Why hold it if I can pass it around

And around

And around

I can't trust myself anymore

I can't trust the light

I left on in the bathroom

To help me find my way at night

So I use my hand

I grope at the wall

If I can't trust myself

Then I can't trust anyone at all

On a day life today

When I do everything I always say I won't

It seems I do this every time

I disregard the line between do and don't

If I'm gonna make a mistake

It's gonna be big

Why sip it if I can drink it down

Why hold it if I can pass it around

And around

And around
