The Bravery – An Honest Mistake
The Bravery is an American rock band from New York City. Sam Endicott is the lead singer and songwriter for the group. Their music is a synthesis of indie rock and electronica. They have had two singles in the Billboard Hot Modern Rock charts.
Honest Mistake, released in 2005, was their first single. The song is apparently about a chance homosexual encounter with a friend.
Honest Mistake
People
They don’t mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend…
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant…
Don’t look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don’t look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Sometimes
I forget I’m still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud
My old friend…
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant…
Don’t look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don’t look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

The video shows the band playing the song in a bare, dark room while a Rube Goldberg type contraption runs itself around them.
