Mistake of My Life

Caedmon's Call · Long Line of Leavers [2000]

I'm in love

I've never been so sure of anything

But then again

It could be a tumor in my brain

Tricking me

Into thinking that we were meant to be

Either way

I'm about to shock my family

And my home town again

But this time I'm leaving



(chorus)

Once I'm gone, I cannot look back

I've got to trust that this is right

Cause maybe I'm on my way to find you

Or maybe I'm gonna make

The mistake of my life



Since we met

My life's been so up in the air

I'm here today

But by next week I could be there

On the street

Struggling to support my newest vice

With a sign

That says "I will work for love advice"

Cause I will mow your lawn

If you'll tell me what I'm doing wrong

(chorus)



But I'll leave the car running

And I'll leave half the boxes packed

For the slim chance I'll go right back

(chorus)
