When times were hard
We used to get so bored
We'd drive downtown
And stare at the empty stores
One last cigarette
The smoke against my neck
We'd find your room through that old screen door
Young trouble
Another midnight stumble
When all we saw was double
When all we had was one last dance
Late August
You left me with your promise
You were always flawless
All I want is one more chance
When the lights went up
Every Friday I was just enough
Red eyed waiting for a way to make you mine
But you were headed west
And I tried my very best
To find a way to let you know that I'd be fine
Young trouble
Another midnight stumble
When all we saw was double
When all we had was one last dance
Late August
You left me with your promise
You were always flawless
All I want is one more chance
California was so long ago
You kept the shirt you meant to borrow
And my days move so slow
I still head downtown
To hear that broken sound
I watch the bars open up and I disappear
I think of you most nights
But in the mornings it hits just right
Yesterday I saw your mom in your red Cavalier
Young trouble
Another midnight stumble
When all we saw was double
When all we had was one last dance
Late August
You left me with your promise
You were always flawless
All I want is one more chance
All I want is one more chance
