Mistake

Well, I met her downtime at a trance party

I was crushing in a corner when she came up to me

Lit her cigarette, she sat down, we talked for a while

Said she was looking for someone to waste some time with

Time was all we had so we spent it like spare change

Emptied out our pockets at the bars by the fairway

Had a pretty good run before the end

Got out before it caught up, man

And as the black and whites faded into grey

They say that you can never look back

But I didn't wanna anyway

You know, that when I said I loved you

Well, I musta been drunk

Because you're no one that I'd ever love

And when I exorcize my devils you're the first one gone

No use in looking for an answer, now to what went wrong

And she said "hey, hey, you know it's alright, man, some things - they just turn out that way"

fifty cent beers in at the corner store

in a one room apartment on the 13th floor

Sleep all day until the night creeps in thru the open window to call us again

Responsibility got knifed in the back, dumped in an alley and left for dead

But thru all the mistakes and the beautiful lies

That we told ourselves while we were blacking out

Somehow we made our way out, but sometimes I miss it still

You know you can't raise the dead, so raise your glass instead

That's just the way it is

You know, that when I said I loved you

Well, I musta been drunk

Because you're no one that I'd ever love

And when I exorcize my devils you're the first one gone

No use in looking for an answer, now to what went wrong

And she said "hey, hey, you know it's alright, man, some things - they just turn out that way"

And she said "hey, hey, cause in the end it's just a mistake that we had to make"

And she said "sometimes things just turn out that way"

Sometimes things just turn out that way
