Lyrics
Sorry Excuse
Expressing regret and remorse, acknowledging a poor excuse.
In every single parking lot
Associating the memory of the person in various parking lots.
I think I see the silhouette of you
Imagining the person's silhouette in different situations.
In every grocery line I hear your
Hearing the person's voice in pick-up lines during grocery shopping.
Pre-planned pick-up lines
Referencing scripted or insincere lines from the past.
And I see your face in takeout menus
Projecting the person's face onto takeout menus.
I know I shouldn’t miss you
Recognizing the need to move on but struggling with lingering feelings.
But I still see your smile in the traffic lights
Seeing reminders of the person, like their smile in traffic lights.
And sometimes I get nervous that you’ll visit
Fearing a potential visit from the person and the emotional challenge it poses.
And I won’t have the strength to leave you twice
Expressing vulnerability about facing the person again.
Told you that I hated you while crying in the floor
Recalling a moment of intense emotion where hatred was expressed.
When things were going south then I drove up to the north
Describing a decision to distance oneself by traveling north.
Don’t hate me, I just had to go
Justifying the need to leave despite negative emotions.
But in every single advertisement I still see your face
Continuing to see the person's face in everyday advertisements.
Wanted to call you cause I wanted to say
Expressing a desire to apologize but acknowledging it as a weak excuse.
I’m sorry but that’s a sorry excuse I know
Labeling the apology as a sorry excuse, acknowledging its inadequacy.
Sometimes when I’m walking
Observing reminders of the person while walking and window shopping.
In the city window shopping
Noticing the person's essence in the city environment.
I see the gleam of your eye in the showroom
Seeing reflections of the person's eyes in a showroom.
I even started talking with other guys
Attempting to engage with others but finding it difficult to forget the person.
But every single time I try
Struggling to avoid comparing new acquaintances to the person.
I find myself comparing them to you
(Empty line, no specific content to interpret.)
Remember New Years Eve, the alcohol on your breath
Recalling a specific memory of New Year's Eve with the person.
Started yelling at me in front of all of my friends
Describing a heated argument where the person yelled in front of friends.
Excuse you, I made excuses for you
Addressing the act of making excuses for the person's behavior.
Now that I’m in New York sometimes when it’s getting dark I sit out in the cold and pretend I’m in your arms Unfortunately, I love you I do
Expressing a longing for the person, even in a different location.
In every car I see, every plastic thank you bag
Seeing reminders of the person in everyday objects and situations.
Every grocery store receipt, every song stuck in my head
Listing various mundane items associated with memories of the person.
It’s you, I see you
Reiterating the constant presence of the person in thoughts and observations.
Every cloud that’s in the sky, every outfit that I choose
Extending the theme of constant comparison to various aspects of life.
Every feeling in my stomach, every person in the room
Describing the pervasive influence of the person on emotions and surroundings.
How could I forget you when everything looks like you
Expressing difficulty in forgetting the person when everything resembles them.
Everything, everything, everything looks like you
Emphasizing the all-encompassing nature of the person's influence.
