Beautiful Mistake


Photo stills 
In your wallet with the unpaid bills 
And you show it like it means something 
You could never know the pain it brings 

And here you are 
Standing in our drive 
(when absence suits you best) 
Letters and your cards 
With no return address 

Now you come around 
Now you come around 
Your familiar sounds 
We are your beautiful, 
We are your beautiful mistake. 

Waiting for this day 
Well I memorized the things i'd say 
How you broke her when you disappeared 
How I hear her say, 

"You'd make your father proud." 
It echoes through the years 
As if I could forget all a mother's tears 

No, don't say a word 
Leave while you still can 
Put out your light 

Now I guess you're going 
A figure through the door 
And your tail lights faded 
Like twenty years before 

Now you come around 
Now you come around 
Your familiar sounds 
We are your beautiful, 
We are your beautiful mistake.
