"Beautiful Mistake" lyrics

In your photo stills
In your wallet with the unpaid bills
And you show it like it means something
You could never know the pain it brings

And then here you are
Standing in our drive
When absence suits you best
Your letters and your cards
With no return address

Now you come around
Now you come around
Your familiar sounds
We are your beautiful
We are your beautiful mistake

Waiting for this day
Well I memorized the things I'd say
How you broke her when you disappeared
How I hear her say

"You'd make your father proud."
It echoes through the years
As if I could forget all a mother's tears

Now you come around
Now you come around
Your familiar sounds
We are your beautiful mistake
Now you come around
Now you come around
Back to this town
We are your beautiful
We are your beautiful mistake

No, don't say a word
Leave while you still can
Put out your light
Now I guess you're going
A figure through the door
And your taillights faded
Like twenty years before

Now you come around
Now you come around
Your familiar sounds
We are your beautiful mistake
Now you come around
Now you come around
Just to hear your sounds
We are your beautiful
We are your beautiful mistake

We are, we are
We are, we are
We are your beautiful mistake
Your beautiful mistake
Your beautiful mistake
