A Mistake Lyrics - When The Pawn Hits - Fiona Apple

I'm gonna make a mistake- 

I'm gonna do it on purpose 

I'm gonna waste my time 

'Cause I'm full as a tick 

And I'm scratching at the surface 

And what I find is mine 

And when the day is done, and I look back 

And the fact is I had fun, fumbling around 

All the advice I shunned, and I ran 

Where they told me not to run, but I sure 

Had fun, so 

I'm gonna fuck it up again 

I'm gonna do another detour 

Unpave my path 

And if you wanna make sense 

Whatcha looking at me for 

I'm no good at math 

And when I find my way back, 

The fact is I just may stay, or I may not 

I've acquired quite a taste 

For a well-made mistake 

I wanna mistake why can't I make a mistake? 

I... 

I'm always doing what I think I should 

Almost always doing everybody good 

Why- 

Do I wanna do right, of course but 

Do I really wanna feel I'm forced to 

Answer you, hell no 

I've acquired quite a taste 

For a well-made mistake, I wanna 

Make a mistake, why can't I make a mistake 

I... 

I'm always doing what I think I should 

Almost always doing everybody good 

Why-
