lyrics

VERSE 1:
I'm sorry, Amanda
I didn't know
I was caught somewhere between a lie and a fairy-tale
I'm sorry, Amanda
we were so young
young enough to think that this won't go stale
I'm sorry, Amanda
I didn't know

VERSE 2:
I'm sorry, Amanda
I haven't thought about this in years
but tonight this city just won't let me sleep
I'm sorry, Amanda
I try not to care
but these scars on my chest are just too deep
I'm sorry, Amanda
I didn't know

BRIDGE:
Sometimes
your ghost still keeps me up at night
I only wanted to treat you right
and sometimes
I still think about what you said
"remember everything" forever in my head

Is there some sort of redemption
after all our imperfections
or are we all just chasing lights?
Are we doomed for force the same mistakes
over and over
until we get this right?

I'm sorry, Amanda
I didn't know

Micah is one of my favorite songwriters around, and also an all around gentleman and scholar. Both his solo work and his work with Two Cow Garage seem to work their way into my regular music rotation with ease. doug shaw
