“The song tells the story of two different people who the narrator happens upon in his life. He receives a piece of advice from the first person (There’s only one mistake that I have made/ It’s giving up the music in my fingertips / By trying to get to Heaven through my veins”), and then imagines himself giving out a piece of advice to to the second (There’s only two mistakes that I have made / It’s running from the people who could love me best /And trying to fix a world that I can’t change.) It’s a masterful storytelling technique and one that directly relates back to the theme of finding meaning in one’s own life on the album.” – CRAIG ISMAILI Album Review: Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness- Self-Titled
