last mistake

Singer:augustana

headlights on the highway burning out the midnight sun

i'm not waiting for the one to come down

time you wasted looking for the diamonds in the rough

when you know it's not enough to go 'round

well

you're only as good as your last mistake

you're only as right as the wrong you make

you can run

and you run

and you run

but you'll never escape

you'll never escape

hiding in the faces of the people left behind

in your soul and in my mind

in the ground

living in the memories of the years that pass us by

where our demons go to die

in the ground

well

you're only as good as your last mistake

yeah

you're only as right as the wrong you make

you can run

and you run

and you run

but you'll never escape

you can come a little closer

but i would wait

you can try a little harder

but never in vain

you can wait a little longer and find a way

but you're only as good as your last mistake

yeah

you're only as good as your last mistake

you're only as right as the wrong you make

you can run

and you run

and you run

but you'll never escape

yeah

you'll never escape
