Same Mistakes Songtext
von Emily Kinney

I can′t say I didn't know any better
I can′t say that I was just too young
My free pass has turned into a letter
Saying you got more work before you're done
I can't say I wasn′t given a chance
That the rich never bothered to share
If I′m a loser, baby, by the end of this
I'm a loser, baby, fair and square
How the world seems to look so simple
When you got the means to look from way up high
How the world seems to get so messy
When you got the time to ask "how" and "why"
I′ve cleaned every bit of dirt from my nails
But the soil seeped into my blood
It doesn't matter how far I go
I can′t seem to shake where I come from
And oh-oh, I kissed a boy on the west side of town
With a Porsche and a million dollar record deal
Oh-oh, but there's a boy living way downtown
Doesn′t understand how he makes feel


Logic tells me I should drive that Porsche toward the sand
But my heart only beats for this downtown man
So, I'm loving like a loser
Batting zero for ten
I'm gonna drive downtown and make the same mistakes again
I can′t say I didn′t know any better
I can't say that I was just naive
When he left before the night was over
I was crying in a blanket on my knees
Praying "God, please give me direction"
Scrub away scent with five-star hotel soap
It doesn′t matter how he pushes and pulls
Oh, Los Angeles, I'll never give up hope
And oh-oh, I kissed a boy on the west side of town
With a Porsche and a million dollar record deal
Oh-oh, but there′s a boy living way downtown
Doesn't understand how he makes feel
Logic tells me I should drive that Porsche toward the sand
But my heart only beats for this downtown man
So, I′m loving like a loser
Batting zero for ten
I'm gonna drive downtown and make the same mistakes again
My friends say I should quit this fight
My friends say his love isn't right
My friends say I should quit this fight
But I can′t so I am driving to his place tonight
My friends say I should quit this fight
My friends say his love isn′t right
My friends say I should quit this fight
But I can't so I am driving to his place tonight
My friends say I should quit this fight
My friends say his love isn′t right
My friends say I should quit this fight
But I can't so I am driving to his place tonight
