The Best Mistakes
The Divine Comedy
[Intro] [Verse 1] I’ve thumbed the dog-eared pages of my paperback life Re-read confusing passages that never worked out right All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here All the fights and late night conversations All the wasted tears [Chorus] Well I have made my fair share of mistakes I’m not an angel but then again I’m no fake And I don’t regret a single day They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made (The best mistakes I’ve ever made) [Verse 2] I’ve tried to throw the past out I’ve tried to shed my skin But the days go by so fast now I kind of like remembering The young man sitting at the station in a world of his own The new sound the overnight sensation Flying so high that I couldn’t let go [Chorus] Well I have made my fair share of mistakes I’m not an angel but then again I’m no fake And I don’t regret a single day They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made [Bridge] I did my time on the merry-go-round And if I had to choose between then and now I’d choose now All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here All the fights and late night conversations All the wasted tears [Chorus] Well I have made my fair share of mistakes I’m not an angel but then again I’m no fake And I don’t regret a single day They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made [Outro] Well I have made my fair share of mistakes I’ve been poet preacher fool and rake And I don’t regret a single day They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made (The best mistakes I’ve ever made) They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made
