lyrics

V1
My friend Jonny and I
were sitting in the backseat
And my mom she was
driving us somewhere down Philly street

Jonny elbowed me and said
“Don’t ever raise your middle finger”
Being an eight-year-old kid
Well of course I did and stuck it out the window

They both turned to me and said…

CH
“Don’t do
Don’t do
Don’t do that anymore no
you should be sorry
Do you have any idea”
And now I feel sorry
For just about everything

V2
You were riding
Your bike down that precipitous hill
Were you trying
To fly away on just your will?

Everything seemed fine when
You were young and had no context for life
Being a fully grown man
I'd be a damn fool to shut my eyes

The world turns to you and says…

CH2
“Don’t do
Don’t do
Don’t do that anymore no
you should be sorry
Do you have any idea”
And now you feel sorry
For just about everything

TAG
I’m so sorry
(It's not a big deal)
I’m so sorry
(It's really not a big deal)
I’m so sorry
(But you had no idea)
Irregardless
I still feel sorry for just about everything
