A Dozen Mistakes

from Unraveled by Paco Is Desperate!

lyrics

I've been waiting for you
Thought I found you in a dozen mistakes
Narrowed down amongst the crowd
Don't worry baby, they can't touch you now
Talk about perfect timing
No such thing as a coincidence
Let me mop myself off the floor
Haven't I been begging for this?

And now, when I look in your eyes
I see the picture so clearly
I know it's what I've been missing
I know it's what I've been missing

I was clutching onto
Anything that felt familiar and safe
No rest, feeling less than me
Black eyed, pure amphetamine
A discovery made
In a state of total apathy
Found by numb and shaky hands
I tripped and fell into your embrace

And now, when I look in your eyes
I see the picture so clearly
I know it's what I've been missing
I know it's what I've been missing

And now, when you're holding my hand
An optimist - vindicated
Maybe we've finally made it
Maybe we've finally made it

Isn't it time to run away?
Isn't it time for the old “too much on my plate”?
Just how far are you willing to take?
The more you go, the more you have to drink away

And I've drank enough to fill the keg back up
This will either be my first win or my final mistake

And now, when I look in your eyes
I see the picture so clearly
I know it's what I've been missing
I know it's what I've been missing

And now, when you're holding my hand
An optimist - vindicated
Maybe we've finally made it
Maybe we've finally made it
