[Verse 1]
I don't want to die alone
Tell me there's another option for me
Standing like I should have known
I knew you'd accidentally look right inside of me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There's nothing anybody could say
There was nothing anybody could do
You made up your absent mind
And now the rest of us are here to amuse you
[Chorus]
Everybody I know makes the same mistakes
Packaged up in different boxes, masking shame
[Verse 2]
Laying on the carpet spilt
You told me you were fairly sure that you'd marry him
Embryonic accidents, a native knife, you gotta finally bury it
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's nothing anybody could say
There was nothing anybody could do
Everybody's got their day
So number wisely if you know what's best for you, man
[Chorus]
Everybody I know makes the same mistakes
Packaged up in different boxes, masking shame
[Bridge]
I don't want to walk away from you
I don't want to walk away from you
I don't want to walk away from you
I don't want to walk away, but you let me
[Outro]
And now the wheels are falling off of the car
Beside the hundred meter grave in the yard
Everybody here feels sorry for us
The Mistake was written by Andy Hull.
The Mistake was produced by Catherine Marks.
Manchester Orchestra released The Mistake on Fri Jul 28 2017.
I started writing this song many years ago, and it took us a really long time to figure out how to make it work. I really liked the economy of the language of the bridge – it felt really simple, “I don’t want to walk away from you” but was also a moment of exactly what I wanted to say.
