Ataris, The - A Beautiful Mistake Lyrics






Maybe I'm not ready for this, and you know it.
Maybe I'm too scared to tell you what I'm really thinking
It's not fair to stay together because of regrets we might have.
I don't want to fall asleep alone, but do I want to wake up with you?
I'm only trying to be completely honest.

So I guess this is the ending or a beautiful mistake.
And if we both agree that we shouldn't be together why does it hurt so much?
I feel like I lost my closest friend.
I don't want to fall asleep alone, but do I want to wake up with you?
I hope you're happy and completely lonely.

There I am standing all alone on Sydney Harbor Bridge.
And you know I would jump into the fucking ocean if it meant I was truly capable of being satisfied.
Well I ever be?
Did I just give up the best thing I ever had?

I don't want to fall asleep alone, but do I want to wake up with you?
I hope you're happy and completely lonely.
I don't want to fall asleep alone, but do I want to wake up with you?
I'm only trying to be completely honest.

  1. L.... ....

    I don't wanna fall asleep alone...but do I wanna wake up with you?

  2. s.... ....

    @sisty69 most bands do play since '95 and still go

  3. z.... i....

    How old is this band?

  4. J.... ....

    Always a great song. I'm so glad I grew up with this band.

  5. a.... ....

    it was a b-side for So Long Astoria, i think the australian release

  6. b.... ....

    It was on the Take Action Vol. 3 comp. Sub City/Hopeless Records puts them out. That volume is my favorite. The early ones are the only good ones, but a good amount goes to a charity/org. Check out some of Deep Elm Records comps also, they have alot of sweet ones.

  7. k.... k....

    i love this song!!!!!!!!!!

  8. T.... G....

    hits home..everytime..

  9. J.... ....

    Yeah. I've kinda noticed it over the years.

  10. n.... ....

    radio #2 should have been cut insteaad of this most definately

  11. M.... M....

    They both are worlds and worlds ahead of "Radio #2"---that one definitely should have taken the cut.

    Eh...this song is actually almost more of a prelude to "Not Capable of Love", so it actually could have conceivably been re-recorded and put on Welcome the Night as well.

    M.... M....

    radio 2 is great

  12. w.... ....

    yeah, I can see why it was replaced. It's a great song, but Looking Back On Today, is a thousand times better.

  13. D.... F....

    So they wouldn't play one of their own songs?

  14. l.... ....

    sydney harbour bridge yiew

  15. l.... ....

    this is one of the best overlooked songs in the past 10 years!

  16. A.... C....

    i went yesterday to their show, here in sao paulo
    and i was in the first line and screamed PLAY BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE
    and chris said "sorry, i dont know how do play it but i swear i like it too ;D"

  17. a.... ....

    it is a b-side from the so long astoria sessions. originally it was going to be on the album but at the last minute it was replaced (per the suggestion of fans via the band's message board) by the full-band version of looking back on today.

  18. M.... M....

    Really, this song marks the downfall of Kris Roe's life...so it's a pretty painful listen in that regard. Great song, but I can't help but feel bad for the guy considering the past few years of his life.
