Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I got the message long before you said you knew There was no chance of us at all With no velocity and empty headed hard 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 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- Side the times we never had right Inside two years alone with you You said we were an accident With accidents you 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 Why can't you believe 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- Side the time I had to forget you Inside no chance of us at all
