Same Mistakes - Emily Kinney

[00:08.63]I can’t say I didn’t know any better
[00:11.95]I can’t say that I was just too young
[00:15.16]My free pass has turned into a letter
[00:18.94]Saying you got more work before you’re done
[00:22.86]I can’t say I wasn’t given a chance
[00:25.81]That the rich never bothered to share
[00:29.22]If I’m a loser, baby, by the end of this
[00:33.35]I’m a loser, baby, fair and square
[00:37.28]
[00:37.38]How the world seems to look so simple
[00:40.30]When you got the means to look from way up high
[00:43.96]How the world seems to get so messy
[00:47.63]When you got the time to ask “how” and “why”
[00:51.25]I’ve cleaned every bit of dirt from my nails
[00:54.77]But the soil seeped into my blood
[00:57.88]It doesn’t matter how far I go
[01:01.20]I can’t seem to shake where I come from
[01:04.96]
[01:06.03]And oh-oh, I kissed a boy on the west side of town
[01:10.16]With a Porsche and a million dollar record deal
[01:13.23]Oh-oh, but there’s a boy living way downtown
[01:16.62]Doesn’t understand how he makes feel
[01:20.35]Logic tells me I should drive that Porsche toward the sand
[01:23.87]But my heart only beats for this downtown man
[01:27.51]So, I’m loving like a loser
[01:29.37]Batting zero for ten
[01:31.15]I’m gonna drive downtown and make the same mistakes again
[01:35.23]
[01:38.73]I can’t say I didn’t know any better
[01:42.38]I can’t say that I was just naive
[01:45.90]When he left before the night was over
[01:49.42]I was crying in a blanket on my knees
[01:53.04]Praying “God, please give me direction”
[01:56.86]Scrub away scent with five-star hotel soap
[02:00.52]It doesn’t matter how he pushes and pulls
[02:02.98]Oh, Los Angeles, I’ll never give up hope
[02:07.57]
[02:07.92]And oh-oh, I kissed a boy on the west side of town
[02:12.01]With a Porsche and a million dollar record deal
[02:15.37]Oh-oh, but there’s a boy living way downtown
[02:19.14]Doesn’t understand how he makes feel
[02:22.11]Logic tells me I should drive that Porsche toward the sand
[02:26.15]But my heart only beats for this downtown man
[02:29.57]So, I’m loving like a loser
[02:31.24]Batting zero for ten
[02:32.81]I’m gonna drive downtown and make the same mistakes again
[02:37.23]
[02:44.72]My friends say I should quit this fight
[02:48.09]My friends say his love isn’t right
[02:51.41]My friends say I should quit this fight
[02:54.33]But I can’t so I am driving to his place tonight
