Lyrics
I'm sorry sir I don't mean to intrude
I apologize for interrupting, sir, but may I join you in this corner booth?
But if there's room for one more here in this corner booth
Expressing a desire to occupy an available space and seeking permission to share a moment.
I just need a minute of your time
Requesting a brief moment of the listener's time.
Got nothing to sell you just remind me of someone the mirror ain't seen in a while
Assuring that there's no intention to sell anything, just noting a resemblance to someone unseen in a while.
There's just something behind those eyes I've seen before
Observing a familiar depth or emotion behind the listener's eyes.
So let me say that the heart is no place for a war
Stating that matters of the heart should not be a battleground.
It's been a while since you've seen that Mr. Daniel's ain't the proof you need I've got the tab but I've got no where to be
Noting that it's been a while since the listener experienced something beyond what a particular brand of whiskey can provide.
Cause buddy I know the pain of being told goodbye
Sharing an understanding of the pain that comes with saying goodbye.
And all those what ifs could haves that keep you up at night
Acknowledging the lingering thoughts and regrets that accompany parting.
Well my years are short but my days are long I've had it right and I've got it wrong but I know that one day you'll be alright
Reflecting on a life filled with both right and wrong decisions, but expressing confidence that things will eventually be okay.
Trust me buddy
Reassuring the listener with a sense of trust and understanding.
I'm ahead of my time
Claiming to be ahead of one's time, suggesting a unique perspective or experience.
One thing mama taught me long ago
Recalling a lesson from one's mother about the value of providing comfort to a weary soul without expecting anything in return.
Is it don't cost a dime to shelter a weathered soul
Suggesting that the speaker's own struggles may have led them to the listener, offering a potential source of support.
So if my hardship led me to you then I just might know what'll pull you through
Commenting on the unique challenges faced when becoming someone who gives advice or support.
No one tells you what to do when you become one yourself
Empty line, possibly for emphasis or a pause.
Cause buddy I know the pain of being told goodbye
Reiterating the impact of contemplating "what if" scenarios and their effects on sleepless nights.
And all those what ifs could haves that keep you up at night
Reflecting on a life with its share of successes and failures, yet holding onto the belief that things will improve over time.
Well my years are short but my days are long I've had it right and I've got it wrong but I know that one day you'll be alright
Reaffirming the speaker's trust and assurance that better days will come for the listener.
Trust me buddy
Reassuring the listener once again with a sense of trust and understanding.
I'm ahead of my time
Repeated claim of being ahead of one's time, reinforcing a unique perspective or experience.
I'm ahead of my time
Repeated assertion of being ahead of one's time, further emphasizing a distinctive understanding or foresight.
I'm ahead of my time
Repeated claim of being ahead of one's time, suggesting a continual assertion of unique insight or experiences.
