My Mistakes - Eleanor Friedberger

You know I do my best thinking

When I'm flying down the bridge

Humming to myself and kicking up my kicks

Have to for my life

I hope I don't crash like that night last summer

I'm back on the bridg

It was just a wooden half

I'm bouncing around like he said it was 1956

I thought I'd learned from my mistakes

I thought he'd learned from my mistakes

I thought you'd give me the right advice

I thought he'd let me in for one last time

The planes dive around like an old timey movie

And tube top and shorts with thighs cut

Hold me down

She's got kind of a native vibe

Before that was so cool

She's got kind of a native vibe

Before I even knew who was who

And he's ignoring me like it's 2001

Why keep time travelling

If it doesn't get better on me

A second time around

Why keep time travelling

If it doesn't get better on me

A second time around

I thought I'd learned from my mistakes

I thought he'd learned from my mistakes

I thought you'd give me the right advice

I thought he'd let me in for one last time

I wore the same outfit on the day

His car alarm

Parked on my avenue

But the one in Brooklyn not

Sunday morning

Carrying umbrella and talking on the phone

My mind said run

And I'm

I crashed down Macon

Cut my head and my knees

The ambulance was called

By a guy whose friend called

They were visiting from California and I swear they

I swear they I swear they

I swear they saved my life

I thought I'd learned from my mistakes

I thought he'd learned from my mistakes

I thought you'd give me the right advice

I thought he'd let me in for one last time

I thought I'd learned from my mistakes

I thought he'd learned from my mistakes

I thought you'd give me the right advice

I thought he'd let me in for one last time
