It's been two years since the summer she broke my heart Spent a couple more with this guitar Tried to outrun all the consequences yeah but here they are I still smell the fireworks in your backyard Went to college but I didn't get far Hope there's something better out there for me but I could be wrong Maybe I was younger or just a little smarter I could say the perfect thing to get you to stay longer But I'm all out of tricks up my sleeve I'm cursed with awful timing and not good at deciding If I should stay and fight or go back into hiding But I'm not surprised that you'd leave Yeah I knew that you'd leave I always knew that you'd leave Laid to rest my common sense I confess I really let it go to my head Thought I'd find myself if I left it all behind but here I am It's dark outside but just light enough that I might find a way home.

Accidents 04:08
It was an accident I don't know whats gonna happen next It was just dumb luck that got me here And I think I'm running out of it Starting to see I'm just a bad seed That won't grow into anything In over my head again I'm sorry for breaking all of my promises I made when I was young Thought I had it figured out but I guess I was wrong There's nothing left for me now No point hanging on Couldn't wash away All the blood I spilled was it in vein Well you see I spent most of my life Doing just as I like And now I'm paying the price for it You say that I'm crazy If you knew how much I hate me Would you still try to save me?

Let You Down 03:35
This time of the year I always think of you How you disappeared what you been up to Said you needed a change well I did too So it goes another hopeless soul All I'll ever be is just somebody that let you down again I spent too much time only thinking about myself I guess Can't take back the way I've been lately now your just another person that hates me All I'll ever be is someone that let you down Let the lights go out let the curtain fall No need to talk I've heard it all I never meant to let you fall I let you fall So it goes another hopeless soul.

Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night Now they blew up his house too Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready For a fight gonna see what them racket boys can do Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state And the D.A. can't get no relief Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade and The gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth Well now everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City Well I got a job and tried to put my money away But I got debts that no honest man could pay So I drew what I had from the Central Trust And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus Now baby everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City Now our luck may have died and out love may be cold But with you forever I'll stay We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold Put on your stockin's 'cause the night's getting' cold And maybe everything dies that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find Down here it's just winners and losers And don't get caught on the wrong side of that line Well I'm tired of comin' out on this losin' end So honey last night I met this guy And I'm gonna do a little favor for him Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Fix your hair up nice, fix yourself up pretty Meet me tonight in Atlantic City.
