Mistakes
My Brothers And I Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Circles, we’re going in circles
Dizzy’s all it makes us
We know where it takes us
We've been before
Closer, maybe looking closer
There's more to discover
Find out what went wrong without blaming each other
Think that we got more time
When we’re falling behind
Gotta make up our minds
Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
And we take, take, take it for granted that we’ll be the same
But we're making all the same mistakes

Wake up, we both need to wake up
Maybe if we face up to this
We can make it through this
Closer, maybe we'll be closer
Stronger than we were before, yeah
Make this something more, yeah

Think that we got more time
When we’re falling behind
Gotta make up our minds
Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
And we take, take, take it for granted that we’ll be the same
But we're making all the same mistakes

Yeah, yeah, that's what crazy is
When it's broken, you say there's nothing to fix
And you pray, pray, pray that everything will be okay
While you're making all the same mistakes

Don't look back
But if we don't look back
We’re only learning then
How to make all the same, same mistakes again

So we play, play, play all the same old games
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
And we take, take, take it for granted that we’ll be the same
But we're making all the same mistakes

Yeah, yeah, that's what crazy is
When it's broken, you say there's nothing to fix




And you pray, pray, pray that everything will be okay
While you're making all the same mistakes

Overall Meaning

"Mistakes" is a song by My Brothers And I that talks about the cycle of mistakes that couples often fall into. The song starts by describing the circular pattern that these mistakes often follow, leaving the individuals feeling dizzy and disoriented. They mention that they know where these mistakes lead them, and they have been in this position before. They then encourage the couple to look closer, so they can discover what went wrong without placing blame on each other. The chorus emphasizes the urgency of the situation by saying that they think they have more time, but they are falling behind and need to make up their minds or else they will continue to play the same old games and make the same mistakes.


The second verse encourages the couple to face up to their issues and work through them together. They mention that if they move closer, they can become stronger than they were before and make their relationship into something more meaningful. The chorus repeats the urgency of the situation and emphasizes that if they continue to make the same mistakes, they will continue to have the same problems.


The bridge of the song talks about how crazy it is to think that doing the same thing over and over again will yield different results. They mention that the individual must face their mistakes and work towards fixing them instead of just accepting the problems. The song ends on a hopeful note, encouraging the couple to learn from their mistakes so they can grow and make progress.
