The Mistake Lyrics
Matchbooks under cigarettes
Lighting your silhouette
Just accept I'll say anything
This place is a mess you think
Buy you another drink
Another drink anything you want
'Bout time that you lose your friends
Back to my place
I don't want to talk
I want everything
Are you driving me home?
Are you driving me home?
Street lights on your coma eyes
I'm in no shape to drive
Besides you're fine
I'll say anything
Get us out of the parking lot
Swerving behind the cops
Eyes on the road
I got everything you want
Like secrets to haunt
I got memories to block
I got the gun
To blow everything
Are you driving me home?
Are you driving me home?
I will be the razor baby
I will be the pill
I am the ambulance that never comes
The antidote you spill
And in the accident
I�ll be the failure in your brakes
I am the truth you couldn't take
I am the mistake
Worst you ever made
Your doubts follow you through the door
What do you do it for?
You need more and more
To feel anything
Each night and it�s someone else
It's the last time you can tell yourself
You can tell yourself
Anything you want
Coat off and you climb the stairs
Intentions are very clear
I don't want to talk
I want everything
Are you driving me home?
Are you driving me home?
I will be the razor baby
I will be the pill
I am the ambulance that never comes
The antidote you spill
And in the accident
I'll be the failure in your brakes
I am the truth you couldn�t take
I am the mistake
Worst you ever made
I will be the razor baby
I will be the pill
I am the ambulance that never comes
The antidote you spill
And in the accident
I'll be the failure in your brakes
I am the truth you couldn't take
I am the mistake
I will be the razor baby
I will be the pill
I am the ambulance that never comes
The antidote you spill
And in the accident
I�ll be the failure in your brakes
I am the truth you couldn�t take
I am the mistake
Worst you ever made
Lighting your silhouette
Just accept I'll say anything
This place is a mess you think

Another drink anything you want
'Bout time that you lose your friends

:] come on guys, this song is just truely amazing.
Perhaps I am taking it too literal but its sounds like a one night stand that will be filled with regret.

Definitely about a one night stand. This one seems to be just the latest in a string of one night stands for the girl, and the guy claims to be the biggest mistake that she's ever going to make.
FYI, for the time being, 5 ro 6 of AM TAXI's other songs are up on here, but are under the name "AMERICAN TAXI." The band switched from AMERICAN TAXI to AM TAXI after they were advised that there could be legal issues with the band GREAT AMERICAN TAXI. I sent an e-mail to the administrator to move those songs over here, but nothing doing yet.
For the time being, AM TAXI's debute label release "We Don't Stand a Chance" dropped yesterday, and it is very, very good. I urge all of you to pick it up!
When i first got the Cd for five whole bucks lofl at the release party in Chi at The Metro and saw them play i knew it was something unique and well assembled like the gears of an engine. Everyone in the band is more talented than Am Taxi allows they recorded the cd the way a jam band might/ LIVE MORE OR LESS. I listened to the cd once through and although i fell instantly in love with a few songs The Mistake blew my mind. It was something i instantly could relate to and at the same time love the angest. They were signed by a major label, Virgin Records, but not well promoted. No tv spots, big movie songs or tours with major big name punk bands. I grew up with the drummer Chris Smith who in HS played in a band called Happy Little
