lyrics

It's late at night
You feel like hell
A lifetime's chances lost of ever being well
You hit the bottle 'cause you've hit the wall
Wondering if you'll ever reach the end of your fall

You're as out of place as an old James Dean
Clutching his cracked custom machine
Never meant to be

It's not not the same
As it was before
You've everything you wanted but your heart still needs more
Then something snaps
And your life careens
If you caught yourself would things have turned out differently?

You struggle along
Heavy as you drown
Horrified and helpless
Stumbling around and around
Around and around
Around until you finally hit the ground

It's not enough
After the fact
To be sorry for what you can't take back

You're as out of place as an old James Dean
Clutching his cracked custom machine
And a dream of being young
Desperately cool and dying to be someone
