Same Mistake Lyrics

Locked out again, here I am, standing on the front porch,
Waiting for you to come home and let me in
It’s times like these I get to thinking to myself even though I’m not the brightest
I still shine brightly if to no one but myself

You could say that I am bored, but I have got imagination
It’s the only thing that gets me through each day
And I try to make the best of every awkward situation
I hope I learn so I don’t make the same mistake.

What a trip that this has been, what a way to start the day
I’d say excitement come this evening may very well be what I need
The predicament I’ve fallen in shows a clear misunderstanding of the way
The real world operates, I hate that I don’t think ahead

You could say that I am bored, but I have got imagination
It’s the only thing that gets me through each day
And I try to make the best of every awkward situation
I hope I learn so I don’t make the same mistake.

My wishful thinking says, “I won’t do this again.”
But in the meantime I’ll just bide my time
And make due with where I am

Locked out again, here I am, standing on the front porch,
Waiting for you to come home and let me in
It’s times like these I get to thinking to myself even though I’m not the brightest
I still shine brightly if to no one but myself

You could say that I am bored, but I have got imagination
It’s the only thing that gets me through each day
And I try to make the best of every awkward situation
I hope I learn so I don’t make the same mistake.

What a trip that this has been, what a way to start the day
I’d say excitement come this evening may very well be what I need
The predicament I’ve fallen in shows a clear misunderstanding of the way

You could say that I am bored, but I have got imagination
It’s the only thing that gets me through each day
And I try to make the best of every awkward situation
I hope I learn so I don’t make the same mistake.

My wishful thinking says, “I won’t do this again.”
But in the meantime I’ll just bide my time
And make due with where I am

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
