Apologies - Grace Potter and The Nocturnals




(Where has this band been all my life? Described as "home based in Vermont, it blends a cool funky kinda soul with a honest, but heavy 70′s vibe" by Living In The Spiral, and I wholeheartedly agree. Gotta go find me some more of this as this is the first I've heard!)

♫Yesterday he said my eyes
Were fading fast away
I said well what do you expect
You asked me not to stay and if it had all been for the best
I wouldn't feel this way
And he said

Oh he said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies

My love is like a blanket
That gets a little bit too warm sometimes
I wanna wrap somebody in it
Who can hold me in his arms
Cause when it got a little too hot in there
He was always stepping out for air and he froze
Oh he froze

He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies

Yesterday he looked at me
With a tear in his eye and said
I'll always tell you you're my friend
I hope I don't have to lie
Cause it's clear you love another man
I said you're damn right

And he said
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
That i didn't figure it out before
And now it's too late for a soliloquy
It's way too late for dignity
It's time for apologies.♫

  1. Mighty tasty selection! Love the band, the voice, the lyrics. In the spirit of “take one – leave one” I’ll offer one of my all-time favorites.

  2. Jonas - Mine too :) Johnny Lang. I feel kinda dreamy about him. He's got a face like young Brad Pitt, all boy next door but not so innocent. You have good taste Jonas. I've always thought so. The "leave one" is a real gift to me. Thank you!
