Eels - Mistakes of My Youth testo

In the waning days ahead
I gotta look back down the road
I know that it's not too late

All the stupid things I said
The people I hurt and let down
Well I hope that it's not my fate

To keep defeating
my own self
And keep repeating
yesterday

I can't keep defeating myself
I can't keep repeating the mistakes of my youth

In the dark of night I might
Be able to make myself think
that I'm still a younger man

But when the light of day shines down
There's no way to get around it
I am not a younger man

I keep defeating
my own self
And keep repeating
yesterday

I can't keep defeating myself
I can't keep repeating the mistakes of my youth

The choice is mine for making
a better road ahead
The road that I've been taking
Heading for a dead end

But it's not too late to turn around

In the final moments I
hope that I know that I tried
To do the best I could

to stop defeating
my own self
and stop repeating yesterday

I can't keep defeating myself
I can't keep repeating
the mistakes of my youth
