Story Behind The Song

Written in 30 minutes one night and recorded in an hour the next. Lyric was written for someone as an apology song.

Song Description

Multi-tracked vocal harmonies over a simple finger-picked guitar line.

Lyrics

I know I should be sleeping
And I know you will be soon.
But I wonder what you're thinking
In our silent darkened room.

Are you reading through again the words
That I wrote by mistake?
Cause even though it could be worse
I'd give anything to take them back.

Did the morning bring you relief
And erase our debate from your mind?
Did it grant you some respite at least
Or did it leave you too little to hide behind?

I can't put my finger on where I went wrong
Or the point where I chose to continue.
There must've been something there driving me on
That stopped me from pausing and thinking things through.

I know I should be sleeping
And I know you will be soon.
But I wonder what you're thinking
In your silent darkened room tonight.

I know there were things that I shouldn't have said,
But now all that I can do is regret them.
If all my mistakes can't be kept in my head,
What chance have I got of learning my lesson?
