It's a Mistake

Almost reaching the starting line
I can't deny the trip hasn't been that serious
There've been moments when delirious
Where I thought I was back home
But luckily the sun is coated
There's a sobering chill to the air
And as long as we can make it there
I can maintain this calm composure

Don't stop to think what could possibly happen
If the wheels hit the shoulder, if somebody was passing
And they came around the corner
You couldn't find the brake
Don't think fatalistic, baby
It's a mistake

You better bring along your
Trusty little cracker jack decoder ring
(ring!)
You're obviously not used to this way of thinking
And you can't understand English in another land that speaks it
Your starting line was back a bit (back a bit!)
And mine's several hours away from here
It's relative I suppose I chose
Not to have it near
The one you chose
Don't worry, though
Because all finish lines tend to be mutual

Don't stop to think what could possibly happen
If the wheels hit the shoulder, if somebody was passing
And they came around the corner
You couldn't find the brake
Don't think fatalistic, baby
It's a mistake

And it's a mistake that I seem to love to keep making
Yeah, it's a mistake that I seem to love to keep making
It's a mistake that I seem to love to keep making
It's a mistake that I seem to love to keep making
I keep on making it
I keep on making it
I keep on making it
I keep on making it...
