The First Mistake (An Song) Lyrics

Just a lock inside a door

On an empty motel floor

I hear the jangle of that brass key ring

The air-conditioned lobby sings

My mini fridge just thinks

Make the first mistake

The fall

Of all

The stops and brakes

I keep my memories of you

Locked away inside my room

The CRT is moaning MTV

But would you turn the dial low

So you can ebb and flow

With me

With me

Believe

I don't know

What you

Have seen in me

The breeze

Off this stream

Feels real to me

And drawn to your center

Here I'll keep you stowed

Lay me out

And float on down

This gold melody

She cures me

Staring at the center of the sun

You're a tyrant when I'm lost

Bargin' in on all my thoughts

I'm sleeping in

So I can

Revisit dreams

And leave the world around still

So I can meet my needs

Make the first mistake

We'll see

Just where

The river takes us
