Mark Oliver Everett - Mistakes Of My Youth lyrics

[Verse 1]: In the waning days ahead I gotta look back down the road I know that it's not too late All the stupid things I've said And people I've hurt in my time I hope it's not my fate [Chorus]: To keep defeating my own self And keep repeating yesterday I can't keep defeating myself I can't keep repeating The mistakes of my youth [Verse 2]: In the dark of night, I might Be able to make myself think That I'm still a younger man But when the light of day shines down There's no way to get around it I'm not the younger man [Chorus]: I keep defeating my own self And keep repeating yesterday I can't keep defeating myself I can't keep repeating The mistakes of my youth [Verse 3]: The choice is mine for making A better road ahead The road that I've been taking Headed for a dead-end But it's not too late to turn around [Verse 4]: In the final moments I hope that I know that I tried To do best I could [Chorus]: To stop defeating my own self And stop repeating yesterday I can't keep defeating myself I can't keep repeating The mistakes of my youth
