Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics
"My Favorite Accident"

I got the message long before you said you knew,
"There was no chance of us at all."
With no velocity and empty headed hard and far-to-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.
Inside no chance of us at all.
