It's six a.m.
And we're still up.
Drinking cheap wine from a Solo cup.
We talked all night,
And yet I'm wide awake.
We see the end.
There's no debate.
We've got a clear expiration date.
And if I fall,
My heart is bound to break.
You're beautiful,
A beautiful mistake.
But you're a chance I must take.
My beautiful,
My beautiful mistake.
The sun comes up.
The summer flies.
Whiskey, and laughter, and sea blue eyes.
A summer full
Of feelings I can't fake.
It's been so long
Since I could feel
Anything that's remotely real.
I open up,
Allow myself to make
A beautiful,
A beautiful mistake.
I try to hold on to each day.
My beautiful,
My beautiful mistake.
But time keeps sliding away.
Cause nothing this good is meant to stay.
In looking back
I never knew
How far I fell in love with you.
I'm stuck inside
These memories I can't shake.
I see that I
Was happy then.
And though I don't know how or when
You're one mistake
I need to make again.
My beautiful,
My beautiful mistake.
Someday we've got to remake
That beautiful,
That beautiful mistake.
