Gray pavement soft beneath our feet
Summer dresses cut through the heat
Bodies swimming through the street
White sheets are hanging out on the line
Persistent hum of hydro wires
A jet is pa**ing in the sky
We can take all the time that it takes
You're the mistake
I've been waiting to make
When did it get difficult to think
Why don't I get us another drink
Feel how good it feels to sink
I'm down in quicksand to my knees
A hawk is circling over me
Cicadas buzzing in the trees
Trying to turn back but I know it's too late
You're the mistake
I've been waiting to make
You've got me going down
Going down that garden path
Do we stop to do the math
There are some rules
That nobody should break
But you're the mistake
I've been waiting to make
You're the mistake
You're the mistake
You're just an innocent mistake
