Oh, I just don't know where to begin
Though he says he'll wait forever
It's now or never
But she keeps him hanging on
The silly champion
She says she can't go home
Without a chaperone
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I don't wanna hear it
'Cause I know what I've done
There's so many fish in the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
But they keep you hanging on
They say you're so young
Your mind is made up, but your mouth is undone
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I don't wanna hear it
'Cause I know what I've done
And it's the damage that we do and never know
It's the words that we don't say that scare me so
There's so many people to see
So many people you can check up on
And add to your collection
But they keep you hanging on
Until you're well hung
Your mouth is made up, but your mind is undone
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I don't wanna hear it
'Cause I know what I've
I know what I've
I know what I've done
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
Though he says he'll wait forever
It's now or never
But she keeps him hanging on
The silly champion
She says she can't go home
Without a chaperone
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I don't wanna hear it
'Cause I know what I've done
There's so many fish in the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
But they keep you hanging on
They say you're so young
Your mind is made up, but your mouth is undone
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen

Accidents will happen, I only hit and run,
I used to be your victim: Now you're not the only one.
So he was seeing himself as both victim and assailant in the relationship while acknowledging that his wife was not "the only one" for him anymore.

Until you're well hung
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone."
fucking genius.
And something about people being terribly insensitive people are, they say things that are clever that hurt and don't say things that might help, like even that they are sorry when they've hurt you.
My mam calls him "the real Elvis"
Fabulous song
most likely, the girl gets pregnant AKA "accidents will happen".
"Though he says he'll wait forever / It's now or never / But she keeps him hanging on". He wants what he wants, and she's not sure, but when she gives it up, accidents happen.
also, the relationship going to fast OR the one-night stand can have to do with the line
"it's the words that we don't say" because with something as HUGE/important as that, there needs to be some 'i love yous' or some means of communication, and there isn't.
Yup, been there, done that.
