The Same Mistakes Again Songtext
von Pattern‐Seeking Animals

On the night she left, he burned within
Swore that he would never make
The same mistakes again
Her gift of one last chance
Like stardust, slipped his grasping hands

And as his world kept turning day-to-day
He finally heard the words of those
Who said he shouldn′t stay
He knew he must let go (he knew he must let go)
Or perish in the undertow

They told him, "Don't look back, you′ll turn to stone"
(To stone, to stone)
With open eyes fixed straight ahead
He charted the unknown
A lost soul found his way
A miracle he's here today


Planned the final leap of faith, and then
Praying he would never make
The same mistakes again
He rose and stood before (he rose and stood before)
The sky and the open door

They told him, "Don't look back, you′ll turn to stone"
(To stone, to stone)
With open eyes fixed straight ahead
He charted the unknown
A lost soul found his way
A miracle he′s here today

A lost soul found his way
A miracle he's here today

They told him, "Don′t look back, you'll turn to stone"
They told him, "Don′t look back"

They told him, "Don't look back, you′ll turn to stone"
(To stone, to stone)
They told him, "Don't look back, you'll turn to stone"
(To stone, to stone)
They told him, "Don′t look back, you′ll turn to stone"
(To stone, to stone)


They told him, "Don't look back"
(They told him, "Don′t look back")
They told him, "Don't look back"
(They told him, "Don′t look back")
They told him, "Don't look back"
(They told him, "Don′t look back")
