This Smoking Wreck

About being drunk and deciding to make a choice based on instinct, trying to reconnect with someone you used to love

Another beer-hazed Saturday night

And I'm in the shade between the lights

Of this packed out, thumping club

And I'm looking for a girl to meet

A new path and place to go

I'm trying to make a connection

But I'm prone to rejection

And they're all the same as before

Yet another shameful defeat

And I'm left feeling morose

I remember the girl that I loved before

And I'm ashamed to think I let her go

The best I ever had

And maybe she's still around

In this smoking wreck of a town

And I'm still fucked up like before

I call her up and tell her I'm sorry

And I need to see to her once again

Maybe it's cause I'm drunk

Or maybe it's just true love

Who knows till I show up drunk?

I'm wondering if I can stay the night

But a moment can't make things right

All of my mistakes laid unfurled

I destroyed the legacy of a girl

And I'm drunk and in bitter regret

I remember the girl that I loved before

And I'm ashamed to think I let her go

The best I ever had

And maybe she's still around

In this smoking wreck of a town
