You may had just met me But I hadn’t met myself yet I was taking the long train to nowhere fast You were like a one-way ticket But I wasn’t ready to catch it I was busy leaving footprints In all of my cigarette ash

Bought all my dresses from a costume shop You were working at a high-end store I was getting gigs at dive bars and trying to get more You took a chance on me I promised change you’d never see And that’s the same thing that you preached We were both burnt before

I was just a loose cannon A wild card in the hands of a gambler

I wrote you poems you’d never read You gave me hope I’d never see I’d never been so carefully careless anyway You’d bring home one more chance I’d ask for one more dance And we’d burn brighter but smaller everyday

I was just a loose cannon A wild card in the hands of a gambler

Empty bottles, blurry streets Clouding up my memory Lonely battles, empty sheets Got lost in a reverie

Ooh..

Oh my, the tides have changed Same faces, lines rearranged I was quick to cross them You would walk the other way Fed up with my rebellious phase Didn’t talk too much these days We lost sight of who we were sunglasses in the shade

I was just a loose cannon A runaway train A wild card in the hands of a gambler
