Making mistakes

Is how we learn

You don't touch the fire

So you don't get burnt

Like you did before

A year ago

Making mistakes

Is how we know

We will become

The best we can be

If we don't do it again, you see

Making mistakes

Is how you discover

You don't be too bold

With a newfound lover

You don't eat the last piece

Of double chocolate cake

'Cause if you do

You won't fall asleep

Making mistakes

Is how you find

If you don't get enough sleep

You'll have a weary mind

If you have too many sweets

There'll be no room for a meal

And that won't compare

To how sick you'll feel

Making mistakes

Determines your fate

What you know now

And what you'll discover
