Sweet Mistakes Lyrics - Singles - Ellis Paul

Pop the cork, a champagne glass 

Raise to the future, drink to the past 

Thank the Lord for the friends he cast 

In the play he wrote for you 

And if you love the girl, man, light up a torch 

Blaze a trail to her front porch 

Kiss her till your lips are scorched 

Till the rain comes down on you 

Bless your sweet mistakes 

That crumble you down to your knees 

That brought you to this place 

Changing you by degrees 

When change was just what you needed 

What you needed 

So if you live your life in a three piece suit 

In a cocktail dress, or combat boots 

You pick your path and you walk your truth 

And the world will come 'round to you 

It's a long strange ride, I can't tell you why 

But there's a place in your pocket where peace can abide 

You pull it out, it's a compass, a guide 

And it will put a little soul on you 

Bless your sweet mistakes 

That crumble you down to your knees 

That brought you to this place 

Changing you by degrees 

When change was just what you needed 

And in this wild blue world 

There is a soul weavin' fine feelin' girl 

But you've got to walk in paradise to find a pearl 

If you only believe 

You'll get what you need, what you needed, yeah 

I conquer your fear and you'll master the game 

Life is always and never the same 

Use a little faith to light the flame 

And I know you'll connect to you 

Bless your sweet mistakes 

That crumble you down to your knees 

That brought you to this place 

Changing you by degrees 

When change was just what you needed 

What you needed 

Pop the cork, a champagne glass 

Raise to the future, drink to the past 

Thank the Lord for the friends he cast 

In the play he wrote for you
