“My Apology” is the 8th track off the Get Up Kid’s record Something to Write Home About. Matt Pryor wrote this song about all the people who confronted him about his work and this is his response.
[Verse 1]
You'll be accepting my apology
For taking things too seriously
Sometimes, I'm old enough to keep routines
Sometimes, I'm child enough to scream
For everything I broke in two
You're barely missing me
I'm missing you
And everything you do
I really do
I really do
Sure, I do
[Pre-Chorus]
My once photographic memory
For recollections' sake is failing me
I can't remember for the life of me
[Chorus]
Sometimes, I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
Sometimes, I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
We move on
[Verse 2]
Get a job where I tell
All of my accounts of someone else
I'm quick enough to judge that they were wrong
And that we knew it all along
Sing a long long-winded song
I would be content to hum along
Hum
[Verse 3]
If I state that my fingers know where to show
What everyone should have known
I'll let it go
Hopefully, you'll forget
Any words that I put in print
My luck, you'll change
Have strength enough to walk away
[Chorus]
Sometimes, I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
Sometimes, I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
We move on
Sometimes, I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
Sometimes, I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
Read and rewrite it wrong
