The Right Mistakes Brought Me To You
LYRICS
Innocence lost, I wandered through the night
Chasing illusions under neon lights
Through twists and turns, I found my breaks
Sometimes the right mistakes are what it takes
They call me reckless, they call me naive
But I find comfort in what I believe
With every setback, I took some falls
The right mistakes broke down my walls
In the realm of dreams, I dared to explore
The wrong paths I took, opened up new doors
With every wrong turn, I learned to improve
The right mistakes brought me to you
The right mistakes brought me to you
Amidst the chaos, I discovered my truth
The twists and turns, they shaped my youth
With each misstep, I found strength anew
The right mistakes taught me to breakthrough
The right mistakes I gladly choose
Life’s reckless path, but I won’t refuse
Through fear and doubt, I found my own way
The right mistakes brought color to my day
In the realm of dreams, I dared to explore
The wrong paths I took, opened up new doors
With every wrong turn, I learned to improve
The right mistakes brought me to you
The right mistakes brought me to you
In the whispers of doubt, I found my voice
The right mistakes became my choice
Through failures and grace, I learned to thrive
The right mistakes made me feel alive
In the realm of dreams, I dared to explore
The wrong paths I took, opened up new doors
With every wrong turn, I learned to improve
The right mistakes brought me to you
So don’t fear the falls, the risks that you face
For it’s through mistakes, we find our grace
The right mistakes brought me to you
INSPIRATION
The trigger for this song was that sometimes the best moves in the long term are considered a mistake in the short term, but these wrong turns somehow take us to a better place. When I was young and didn’t know better, chasing love made more sense than being loved. Sometimes the right mistakes are the best mistakes, even if they don’t work out in the short term, as they are useful in the long-term.
“The Right Mistakes” is about the importance of taking risks and making mistakes to find breaks through twists and turns, and how sometimes the right mistakes are what it takes to explore the realm of dreams, and how the wrong paths we took open up new doors. The song is about finding strength in missteps, and how the right mistakes brought me to you. It encourages us to embrace the risks we face, because it’s through mistakes that we find our grace.
