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
