Same Mistakes - Emily Kinney

I can’t say I didn’t know any better

I can’t say that I was just too young

My free pass has turned into a letter

Saying you got more work before you’re done

I can’t say I wasn’t given a chance

That the rich never bothered to share

If I’m a loser, baby, by the end of this

I’m a loser, baby, fair and square

How the world seems to look so simple

When you got the means to look from way up high

How the world seems to get so messy

When you got the time to ask «how» and «why»

I’ve cleaned every bit of dirt from my nails

But the soil seeped into my blood

It doesn’t matter how far I go

I can’t seem to shake where I come from

And oh-oh, I kissed a boy on the west side of town

With a Porsche and a million dollar record deal

Oh-oh, but there’s a boy living way downtown

Doesn’t understand how he makes me feel

Logic tells me I should drive that Porsche toward the sand

But my heart only beats for this downtown man

So, I’m like a loser

Batting zero for ten

I’m gonna drive downtown and make the same mistakes again

I can’t say I didn’t know any better

I can’t say that I was just naive

When he left before the night was over

I was crying in a blanket on my knees

Praying «God, please give me direction»

Scrub away his scent with five-star hotel soap

It doesn’t matter how he pushes and pulls

Oh, Los Angeles, I’ll never give up hope

And oh-oh, I kissed a boy on the west side of town

With a Porsche and a million dollar record deal

Oh-oh, but there’s a boy living way downtown

Doesn’t understand how he makes me feel

Logic tells me I should drive that Porsche toward the sand

But my heart only beats for this downtown man

So, I’m like a loser

Batting zero for ten

I’m gonna drive downtown and make the same mistakes again

My friends say I should quit this fight

My friends say this love isn’t right

My friends say I should quit this fight

But I can’t so I am driving to his place tonight

My friends say I should quit this fight

My friends say this love isn’t right

My friends say I should quit this fight

But I can’t so I am driving to his place tonight

My friends say I should quit this fight

My friends say this love isn’t right

My friends say I should quit this fight

But I can’t so I am driving to his place tonight
