The Same Mistakes - The Cooper Temple Clause

And so it has to change

The notebook’s now in pieces

Words we’ll never sing

I know you’ll say I’ve simply jumped the gun

And that they’ve won

But you can’t keep making the same mistakes

You see I’ve had this thought

It took its time in coming

But now won’t be denied

I’d always gone about these things all wrong

But not this song

Cos you can’t keep making the same mistakes

No you can’t keep making the same mistakes

Can’t jump ship just yet

There’s no one at the wheel

Someone has to steer

Get a hold of yourself

Keep your head there’s no time to waste

Can’t jump ship just yet

There’s no one at the wheel

Someone has to steer

Get a hold of yourself

Keep your head there’s no time to waste

You’ll see it soon enough

But all is not forgotten

And now’s no time for tears

Cos though that boy has died this one still lives

And now there’s life

And a chance to make up for all those mistakes

But please don’t get me wrong

Cos everything was honest

True and from the heart

There’s still the same old hang ups so don’t fret

It’s not safe yet

And who knows there’s always time to screw up again

But maybe we’ll be cool

Cos you were made an offer

You could not refuse

You made me come alive and see my face

See my grace

And we grow or do we just haul it around?
