My Favorite Accident Lyrics

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 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 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-
Side the times we never had right
Inside two years alone with you

You said we were an accident
With accidents you 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
Why can't you believe

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-
Side the time I had to forget you
Inside no chance of us at all

this song is amazing, even if the lyrics arent perfect (which i dont think they are, but hey...close enough to get the point!) i love mcs, i think they are original...they really have their own sound. It's awesome! everyone should hear this song.

superelk1, you really know how to ruin a song. Why is it so important to know the meaning of a song anwyays? It is left open for self interuptation but I highly doubt he is just being perverted. You're simple minded and it is annoying.

Whereas this isn't what the song is necessarily supposed to be about, I like to think of it as even when a relationship goes terribly wrong and you end up alone, then sure, it was all an accident, but maybe it was worth making for all the good times you had before it all went to hell.

ok superlk1, you forgot the part "please let me in"! Obviously she has shut him out and he can't handle the silence. So "you hit the road and left me an ocean" thats gotta be tears. The skin part i am uncertain about...it could be that he can't be around her when she's silent, its sorta as if all that's next to him is skin...i dont know....thats what i think.

I always thought he was saying "I can't swim in the silence of your escape, escape... please let me in" That makes more sense to me... She escaped him, and he's drowning in tears and he wants back in her life. But if he's actually saying "skin" then I have no idea...

this song rocks my ass. i love the part where he goes "with accidents you never know what could have been" i relate to it quite a bit. this video is a bit odd though.

well uys here's what i think ... when he says "you left me an ocean" he means a myriad of opportunity and whe he says " I can't swim" he uses a pun to explain how he is drowning , or lost without her ...

uhm..... Remember george michael's faith? "Before this river becomes an ocean" Was referring to a river/ocean of tears

That's pretty much what this is You hit the road and left me an ocean (of tears)

"I can't swim in the silence of your skin" means I can't swim/last in the silence/absence of your skin/presence
