My life is like a race between the alcohol and nicotine
To see which of the two will be the one that kills me
Wasted dreams and broken hearts, drawn out endings and false starts
Pretending there is still a part which still fulfils me
Then I met you late one night, your smile shone with blinding light
And I'm still dazzled by the sight of what you showed me
If it's not too late for me to live less self-destructively
Turn myself around and be the man I should be
You make me want to be together again
Like I used to be, before I slipped and fell to pieces
You make me want to be together again
Like I used to be, long ago
I know it's not fair on you to pick you out as someone who
Could stop these stupid things I do with just a smile.
I know I'm just some guy you met one night and you don't know me yet
And maybe we'll never get together in the end, still...
