I saw a wreck at a light
Two cars that gave up the fight
Nobody left to be saved
No steam left under the gaugeAnd in that carnival light
The show began to unwind
And I saw just how it goes
Out on that old two-lane roadI been saving time for another life
Maybe happiness is coming
But you don't know when
WhenThe gravity of whether you were meant for me
Came crashing down with sovereignty
In someone else's tragedyI saw the old man again
He only talks about when
There was so much to believe
Before the cancer to beHe can't remember the song
The words they all come out wrong
And all his records are cracked
He knows you can't get it backIt's only faded time
Maybe happiness is coming
But you don't know when
WhenThe gravity of whether you were meant for me
Came crashing like a symphony
In someone else's used to beAnd we carried our cross like a clover
And we smoked cigarettes and we lied
About the things we would feel when we're older
Oh God, what a fine waste of time?
And I miss you, are you coming over?
