What does 就算这次做错也只是怕错过 mean?

Question

I found this sentence in a song's lyrics => " 就算这次做错也只是怕错过 ". What does it mean?

Answer 1

To translate directly:

Even if making a mistake this time, it is still preferred for the fear of missing the moment.

In other words, it means one would rather take this opportunity (perhaps once in a lifetime opportunity) to do something even if it means making a mistake.

Answer 2

1. 歌词并不遵守严格的中文语法

2. 这句话完整的句子应该是“就算这次做错（那也没有关系），（相比之下）更怕错过”
