“Be My Mistake” is about an insignificant hookup after, or perhaps even during, a relationship.

[Verse 1]
And be my mistake

She bought me those jeans
The ones you like
I don't wanna hug

So don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait till I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
[Chorus]
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take

And don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait till I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
[Chorus]
And save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
