Lyrics
Look at the mess I’ve made
Expressing regret and acknowledging a personal mess or mistake.
I'm dodging the dragon’s flame
Trying to avoid or overcome a difficult or dangerous situation symbolized by "dragon's flame."
I’ve cut up my feet from walking on your egg shells
Feeling hurt or affected by the delicate nature of the relationship, using the metaphor of walking on eggshells.
Guess I’ll be sleeping with the dogs again
Anticipating separation or isolation as a consequence of the situation.
Wish I could read your mind
Expressing a desire to understand the partner's thoughts and emotions.
‘Cause then I would know my crime
Acknowledging a wrongdoing or mistake that needs to be understood.
This won’t be the last time I’ll be saying sorry but
Recognizing a pattern of apologizing and hinting at the possibility of future apologies.
It’s not like this happens all the time
Highlighting that the situation is not a frequent occurrence.
I’ll always do the best I can
Committing to doing one's best to fulfill the role of a supportive partner.
To be your superman
Affirming the commitment to be a reliable and strong figure in the relationship, metaphorically as a "superman."
Always do the best I can
Reiterating the commitment to always strive to be the best partner possible.
To be your superman
Emphasizing the determination to fulfill the role of a "superman."
Tell me that you understand
Seeking reassurance and understanding from the partner.
It’s who I am
Stating that the commitment is an integral part of one's identity.
Yeah I’m just a boy without a plan
Acknowledging a lack of a clear life plan but expressing a commitment to doing the best possible.
But I’ll always do the best I can
Reiterating the determination to do the best despite uncertainty.
To be your superman
Reaffirming the commitment to be a "superman" in the relationship.
I never mean to be mean
Asserting that any unintentional meanness is not intentional.
So here’s my apology
Offering an apology to address any hurt caused by unintentional actions.
I’ll pick up every penny from the wishing well
Symbolizing dedication by expressing a willingness to collect every penny, a gesture to demonstrate the value of the relationship.
To show you how much you mean to me
Expressing the depth of feelings and commitment to the partner.
