Mistakes of My Youth - Eels (鳗鱼乐队)

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've said

And people I've hurt in my time

I hope 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'm not the 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

Headed 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
