Well I met her downtown at a trance party<br />
I was crashing in the corner when she came up to me<br />
Lit her cigarette she sat down we talked for a while<br />
Said she was looking for someone to waste some time with<br />
Time was all we had so we spent it like spare change<br />
Emptied out our pockets at the bars by the fairway<br />
Had a pretty good run before the end<br />
Got out before it caught up man<br />
And as the black and whites faded into grey<br />
They say that you can never look back<br />
But I didn't wanna anyway<br />
<br />
You know that when I said I loved you well I musta been drunk<br />
Because you're no one that I'd ever love<br />
And when I exorcise my devils you're the first one gone<br />
No use in looking for an answer now to what went wrong<br />
And she said you know it's alright man<br />
Some things they just turn out that way<br />
<br />
Fifty cent beers in at the corner store<br />
In a one room apartment on the 13th floor<br />
Sleep all day until the night creeps in<br />
Thru the open window to call us again<br />
Responsibility got knifed in the back<br />
Dumped in an alley and left for dead<br />
But thru all the mistakes and the beautiful lies<br />
That we told ourselves while we were blacking out<br />
Somehow we made our way out<br />
But sometimes I miss it still<br />
They say you can't raise the dead<br />
So raise your glass instead<br />
That's just the way it is<br />
<br />
And she said you know it's alright man<br />
Some things they just turn out that way<br />
And in the end it's just a mistake<br />
That we had to make
