The Perfect Mistake

it's definitely "I know I'm wrong" and "I'm the perfect mistake" and then a few other minor changes...song is included on the new CD Cycles :)

Wake me up, I've been dreaming It feels just like any other day I sit you down, here goes nothing And you're not gonna like what I say

Get out, oh just get out

"Get out, get out," that's what she said "You drive me crazy I can't believe that's what you did Don't call me baby" And I know I'm wrong I knew all along that you'd find out I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now

Wake me up, I've been dreaming Cause I haven't heard from you in days Hazy now, this fog just follows me around And it's only you that burns it away

So get out, oh just get out

"Get out, get out," that's what she said "You drive me crazy I can't believe that's what you did Don't call me baby" And I know I'm wrong I knew all along that you'd find out I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now

I see your face every time I close my eyes It's getting worse, you say it comes as no surprise

Why am I hell-bent on losing? When I can't get you out of my head

"Get out, get out," that's what she said "You drive me crazy I can't believe that's what you did Don't call me baby" And I know I'm wrong I knew all along that you'd find out I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now

Oh, I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now Oh, you'll make right now

This song is about that one person you like sooo much and you wish they would just fall for you. You take the chance of telling them you like them and they reject you. You hope that that special someone will make the perfect mistake and fall for you.

I think it means that he was hiding something from a girl he's in a relationship with. He made a mistake and decided to tell her about it. Sounds sort of like he lied or cheated? He was hiding something from her at first, and then told her because he realized how much she means to him and is hoping that she can get over it. She isn't speaking to him and he really wants her back.

Will sings "I'M the perfect mistake" in the chorus. Big difference but all-around good post.

I'm hearing "I know I'm wrong, I knew all along" in the chorus. I don't know if that's correct but that's what I hear. Good work on the lyrics though.

there are a good amount of errors in these lyrics

To me, this song means that there is a guy and he knows that he's not good enough for her & he understands that, making him the "perfect mistake". She finally realized that she can do better & they've both been having a rocky relationship so he's saying he wants to fix it for her.

Yeaaah, definitely a lot of errors. Nonetheless, this is probably one of my favorite songs by them. It's pretty much this huge catharsis. I wonder if its based on one of Will's personal experiences. Anybody agree?
