No Mistake

Well you say you're on a road

you just can't take

Buried by the lights and dreams

they never let you make

 

Somewhere in the dark you hear

a song that makes you break

You're the invention of a heart

that never learned to hate

 

When will you see those stars?

They're falling out of space

Inside you're eyes I see a spirit

that knows you're no mistake

You're no mistake to me

to me

 

And all the lives we thought

we'd like to live

Now are static in your head

and we wonder what's left

to give

forgive

forgive them all

 

When will you see?

Your stars, they're floating into space

And inside your heart beats a song

weaving your soul like lace

 

There's no mistake

You're no mistake

to me

 

Oh, when will you see?

You're no mistake to me

Believe

The stars are all around us now

Can't you see?

Oh, can't you see?

There's no mistake at all

At all
