My Mistake

Here is the third peek at the new album, which will be available everywhere on 1/11/11. The song is called “My Mistake”. If you want a free copy of the album, come to our show at The Troubadour on Saturday.

My Mistake

don’t take it personally if the sun doesn’t shine when you’re with me.
fireworks, now just a hazard; accident becomes disaster.
when did the storm clouds roll in to saturate you with derision?
i loved you when we were certain; now i see you closing the curtain.
so if you’ll excuse me for my mistake
i expect to give when i take

*i don’t believe that we have seen the last of bad days
i’m burning to learn what they mean when they say
she works her ways*

i’ve been trying to find the time to make it shine for you a little more.
i take my bow, aiming it upwards; arrows rained, leaving it covered.
watch as guilt blankets your face, and makes a fool of me in this place.
take a bow, standing ovation. roses for the promise you’re breaking.
so if you’ll excuse me for my mistake
i expect to give when i take
