I'd Rather Make Mistakes Than Nothing at All

All these days have turned these months into a year

And I've been spending every second, wishing I could disappear

And I know one day I'll start to speak again

I just need some inspiration I can rightfully defend

And I'm close

When it's hurting bad, it only gets worse

I sing for the children of the earth

I've broken every rule that I've known

Since you told me that I've got to have passion

Honestly, you've got me all wrong

I am just a boy on my own

And looking for some promising action

Tell me what it takes to move on

When I'm gone, I can't keep up with what's at home

And I'd love to make it right, but there are things I can't control

But I'm close

When it's over, tell me when to let go

I'll be the last one to know

When you were at the top of my list

I promised you that this wouldn't happen

How do I begin to explain?

Crimson lips and permanent kiss

You loved me on the back of a napkin

Maybe I should throw it away?

Make a move, so carefully

Cut me down, and let me bleed

And I'll slowly walk away

(Oh, hey!)

Now you wanna talk, so fitting

I remember times when you were

Holding by a thread of a chance

You'll make it out alive, God willing

All you need is time, and it's been

Getting awful close to a year

This is so messed up, but if you

Give me all your love, then we'll show

Angels up above that we can

Make it out alive, God willing

I remember times when you were

Holding by a thread of a chance

I've broken all the rules that I've known

You told me that I've got to have passion

Honestly, you've got me all wrong

I am just a boy on my own

And looking for some promising action

Tell me what it takes to move on

Make a move, so carefully

Get me down, and let me bleed

And I'll slowly walk away
