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

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.

Atlantic City

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.
