My Mistake

I'm in a dream I'm flying over hills,
I see it shining in the hay.
There's something golden in my hands,
And then I go and let it slip away.


With eyes that are broken, my feelings are spoken.
It's time for the waters to break.
I know where I should be, and I'm gonna make it there.
I won't let you be my mistake.


The days go by like chapters from a book,
I'm skipping pages to the end.
There's a story that I'll never know,
The one about the man who makes amends.


With eyes that are open, my feelings are spoken.
It's time for the waters to break.
I know where I should be, and I'm gonna make it there.
I won't let you be my mistake.


The moment's uncovered, I must seize the day.
This goal that I hold high - won't let it be lost for all time.


With eyes that are open, my feelings are spoken.
It's time for the waters to break.
I know where I should be, and I'm gonna make it there.
I won't let you be my mistake.


With eyes that are broken, my feelings are spoken.
It's time for the waters to break.
I know where I should be, and I'm gonna make it there.
I won't let you be my mistake.


My mistake baby…
