My Next Mistake

Ft. Jim Adkins (Jimmy Eat World)

Be the calm
Be the quiet
The cold collected one

Next to you
The world feels smaller
And slower every turn

Pull me along
This helpless feeling
I can't say no or yes

After the ride
When our feet touch the ground
Well who knows where we'll stand


All I can do is this
Planning my next mistake
No matter what I say
Nothing will be the same


Be the calm
Be the quiet
An ideal I can't touch

Help me to run
Help me to just move
Where to put my trust?

Never alarm
There's always resistance
A restless part in me

Time after time
A little bit longer
A slow-motion dream


All I can do is wait
Planning my next mistake
No matter what I say
Nothing will be the same

I've never wished so hard to disappear

All I can do is wait
Deciding my next mistake
No matter what I say
Nothing will be the same
No matter what I say
Nothing will be the same
