I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore
I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
6 AM and I'm alone
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day, I was just beginning
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake
"Nat, honey, today!" Maddie yells into the back room of their Pasadena apartment.
"Coming! I can't find my headband!" the spitting image of Maddie, Natalie Madeline Margaret Genevieve Catherine Fitzpatrick.
"Did you check your head?"
Natalie comes racing into the room, then says, "No…"
Maddie sees the headband hanging to the door knob to the closet. She points to it, and Natalie hits her forehead like, 'Duh!'.
"Oh, I forgot I put it there. Thanks, Mom." she says, giggling about hanging it on a doorknob
"Anytime." Maddie says, smiling at her daughter, "Now let's get going, you have school to go to and I have boring snobs to listen to drone on and on about silk and rayon all day."
"Right, sorry." Natalie says and giggles again.
"You're forgiven." Maddie says with a smile, "Remember, you have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at two, so I'll pick you up early."
"How early?"
"I was thinking…one thirty…"
"One." Natalie says.
"One fifteen."
"One."
"One twenty."
"One ten."
"One fifteen."
"One-oh-five."
"One forty five."
"One fifteen."
"One fifteen. Deal."
Now your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game
Now here comes your secret lover
She'll be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day I've gotten used to spending
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
"So…what's the appointment for again?" Natalie asks once they're in the car.
"Your unusual reaction to shellfish." Maddie says.
"But I always go to the bathroom after I eat shellfish."
"That's the unusual reaction."
"Ohhhh…"
Maybe nothing lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after It's your laughter
Won't let me go so I'm holding on this way
Well did you know
Could you tell
You were the only one
That I ever loved
When everything's so wrong
"So…can we go to lunch after?" Natalie asks.
"Sure. Where do you wanna go?" Maddie asks.
"Anywhere that doesn't have shellfish."
Maddie shakes her head with a laugh, "You got it, Girlie."
Did you see me walking by
Did it ever make you cry
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
