Best Mistake (Feat. Big Sean)

Ariana Grande
My Everything (Japanese Edition)

이 노래 이야기

화자는 좋지 않다는 걸 알면서도 끊어내지 못하는 관계를 이야기한다. "Break up, make up, total waste of time / Can we please make up our minds"라며 반복되는 다툼과 화해의 패턴에 지쳤다고 말한다.

그럼에도 "You're the best mistake I've ever made / But we hold on"이라는 구절처럼 잘못된 선택임을 알면서도 놓지 못하는 모순된 애착을 인정한다. 피처링으로 참여한 랩 벌스는 "If I'm not the one, then I'm the best mistake you ever had"라며 같은 모순을 상대의 입장에서 한 번 더 비춘다.

How soon do we forget how we feltDealing with emotions that never leftPlaying with the hand that we were dealt in this game

Maybe I'm the sinner, and you're the saintGotta stop pretending what we ain'tWhy we pointing fingers, anyway? When we're the same

Break up, make up, total waste of timeCan we please make up our mindsAnd stop acting like we're blind?'Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shiningStars fall, and the world goes blind, boyYou know I'll be saving my love for you, for you

'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever madeBut we hold on, mmh, hold onThere's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chaseBut we hold on (uh-huh), mmh, hold on, eh (yeah)

I guess time's wasting, tick tocking, lip lockingHow can we keep the feelings fresh, how do we zip lock it?Wear your heart up on your sleeves, so watch out for pickpocketsI guess to go the distance we might need to pit stop it

Hold up, I know love could be a beach with no shoreI done count to ten, lost my temper, and went back to fourI know sometimes it's hard to realize I'm the man that you needI had a dream we branched out, started a family tree

And I feel like that everything we do is overdueYou ask why I love your mom so much 'cause she's a older youI wish that you were happy, I guess that's the one thing I should be providingAin't no number twos, we both ones of ones and we the oddest

Couple only humans 'cept you, you a goddessOnly lying to you when I lie you down, just being honestWhen you start as friends, it's hard to say you're never going backIf I'm not the one, then I'm the best mistake you ever had

Break up, make up, total waste of timeCan we please make up our minds?And stop acting like we're blind'Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shiningStars fall, and the world goes blind boyYou know I'll be saving my love for you, for you

'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever madeBut we hold on, mmh, hold onThere's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chaseBut we hold on, mmh, hold on, eh

You're, you're, you're, you're, mmhI'll be saving my love for you, for youYou're, you're, you're, you're, mmhI'll be saving my love for you, for you
