Lyrics Eleanor Friedberger - My Mistakes

You know I do my best thinking when I'm flying down the bridge.
Humming to myself and kicking up my kicks
..have to... for my life
I hope I don't crash like that night last summer,
I'm back on the bridge, it was just a wooden half,
I'm bouncing around like he said it was 1956.

Chorus:
I thought I'd learned from my mistakes,
I thought he'd learned from my mistakes,
I thought you'd give me the right advice,
I thought he'd let me in for one last time.

The planes dive around like an old timey movie,
And tube top and shorts with thighs cut, hold me down
She's got kind of a native vibe before that was so cool
She's got kind of a native vibe before I even knew who was who.
And he's ignoring me like it's 2001.
Why keep time travelling if it doesn't get better on me?
A second time around,
Why keep time travelling if it doesn't get better on me?
A second time around.

Chorus:
I thought I'd learned from my mistakes,
I thought he'd learned from my mistakes,
I thought you'd give me the right advice,
I thought he'd let me in for one last time.

I wore the same outfit on the day...
...his car alarm, parked on my avenue,
But the one in Brooklyn not... Sunday morning,
Carrying umbrella and talking on the phone!
My mind said run
And I'm...
I crashed down Macon, cut my head and my knees.
The ambulance was called by a guy whose friend called...
They were visiting from California and I swear they, I swear they, I swear they, I swear they saved my life!

Chorus: (x2)
I thought I'd learned from my mistakes,
I thought he'd learned from my mistakes,
I thought you'd give me the right advice,
I thought he'd let me in for one last time.
