The Best Mistakes

from Pictures in the Sky by SCARPA

/

lyrics

I’m throwing up in the Palisades Mall parking garage
There’s vomit on my hair and beard; I wish I didn’t have a beard
I respond to your text message in a way I think is cute and funny
But you haven’t responded so now I’m feeling despondent

Yes I’ve been drinking, isn’t that obvious?
All these late lonely nights lead me to desperation
I don’t know what I should do, don’t really know if I want this
But you still haven’t responded, maybe I went too far

I don’t know what I’m doing
I’m making all the best mistakes
I’m pushing the envelope
For the first time in awhile I still have hope
But now I don’t, oh well

I waited for you last Thursday, idling my engine ‘cause it’s too cold
All that polar vortex bullshit, but there’s a drink that makes me warm
Now I know I’ve gone too far ‘cause you still haven’t responded
That’s the problem with technology - instant communication is a fallacy

What am I getting at? Do I wanna go down this road?
But that doesn’t matter ‘cause I don’t think you like me
And I’m not sure if I like you, ‘cause maybe I just like the potential for attention
But either way, I think I’ve given up

I don’t know what I’m doing
I’m making all the best mistakes
I’m pushing the envelope
For the first time in awhile I still have hope
But now I don’t, oh well

After my fifth rum and coke, I’ll say whatever comes to mind
After my ninth rum and coke, I’m blind

I don’t know what I’m doing
I’m making all the best mistakes
I’m pushing the envelope
For the first time in awhile I still have hope
But now I don’t, oh well
