My Favorite Accident

I got the message long before you said you knew

There was no chance of us at all

With no velocity an empty headed heart and far too long

I spent two years alone with you

Just when I thought I had forgotten

You came back soft without a sound

You said we were an accident

With accidents you'll never know what could have been

So we were an accident

You'll always be my favorite one

You hit the road and left me an ocean

I can't swim in the silence of your skin skin please let me in

Inside the times we never had it right

Inside two years alone with you

You said we were an accident

With accidents you'll never know what could have been

So we were an accident

You'll always be my favorite one

We could have been

We could have been

Instead of accidental running always running

Again

Why can't you believe

We could have been

We could have been

Again

Long winded promises of future company

Up close the sound remains the same

Without the reign of terror over every momentary change

We are exactly as before

You hit the road and left me an ocean

I can't swim in the silence of your skin skin please let me in

Inside the time I have to forget you

There was no chance of us at all
