I'm gonna make a mistake- I'm gonna do it on purpose
I'm gonna waste my time
'Cuz I'm full as a tick, and I'm scratching at the surface
And what I find is mine
And when the day is done, and I look back
And the fact is I had fun, fumbling around
All the advice I shunned, and I ran
Where they told me not to run, but I sure Had fun, so
I'm gonna f*** it up again, I'm gonna do another detour
Unpave my path
And if you wanna make sense, Whatcha looking at me for
I'm no good at math
And when I find my way back,
The fact is I just may stay, or I may not
I've acquired quite a taste for a well-made
mistake, I wanna make a mistake why can't I make a mistake?
I'm always doing what I think I should
Almost always doing everybody good
Why-
Do I wanna do right, of course but
Do I really wanna feel I'm forced to answer you, hell no
I've acquired quite a taste for a well-made
mistake, I wanna make a mistake why can't I make a mistake?
I'm always doing what I think I should
Almost always doing everybody good
Why-
