Well I met her downtown at a trance party I was crashing in the 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

And she said you know it's alright man Some things they just turn out that way And in the end it's just a mistake That we had to make
