Story Behind The Song
Living with someone who reminds you of your ex. You can't help falling for them, even though you really don't want to because you know it is doomed to fail just like the last relationship.
No matter how hard you try, they are always there or behind the walls, and you can't run away from it. It's about the struggle in your mind and heart.
Song Description
An upbeat song about temptation. When something feels good but you know it won't end well. A song about the struggle of falling for someone when you know it's a bad idea and you'll probably regret it or get hurt. The inner contemplation of a possible affair/relationship that feels doomed.
A beautiful mistake waiting to happen.
Trying hard to fight it because of not wanting to repeat mistakes made in the past.
Song draws parallels with a 'text book', suggesting that the doomed ending of this possible relationship is obvious and predictable. Also, it compares to fiction such as realising you're watching a show you've seen before in the use of 'intermission' and 'seen this version'.

Lyrics
You're just a beautiful mistake
Waiting to happen, You're just a beautiful mistake
Walked into my life
Stumbled into yours
Our two hearts collide
Loud it made me stop
Voice telling me from inside
And i can't shut it up
Higher up that you climb
Harder you will fall
This is text book but can't read the signs
Chapter finished right before we start
You're just a beautiful mistake
Waiting to happen
You're just a beautiful mistake
Waiting to happen, Waiting to happen
If i don't try hard to fight
Waiting to happen, Waiting to happen
If i don't try hard to fight
See i'm caught up in a dream
Imagination runs
Wild it's haunting my sleep
These walls aren't thick enough
Your face is deja vu
You remind of
A past i'm trying to lose
Not trying hard enough
Intermission and i'm out the door
Seen this version many times before
You're just a beautiful mistake
Waiting to happen
You're just a beautiful mistake
Waiting to happen, Waiting to happen
If i don't try hard to fight
Waiting to happen, Waiting to happen
If i don't try hard to fight
Intermission and I'm out the door
Deja vu not really you at all
You're just a beautiful mistake
Waiting to happen x8
You're just a beautiful mistake
Waiting to happen
You're just a beautiful mistake
Waiting to happen, Waiting to happen
If i don't try hard to fight
Waiting to happen, Waiting to happen
If i don't try hard to fight
Waiting to happen, Waiting to happen
Cant deny hard to fight!
