Sorry Lyrics

Well I'm sorry `bout the weather
And I'm sorry that the drive was much too far
Seems like everything is business
And we're sorry all the time

When we're home (All alone)
What is home? (On your own)
Home is home (All Alone)
Where we love the weather

Are you sorry that you love me?
Am I sorry I love you too?
Seems it doesn't make a difference
That we're sorry all the time

When we're home (All alone)
What is home? (On your own)
Home is home (All Alone)
Where we love the weather

All alone (What is home?)
On my own (What is home?)
All alone (Home is home)
And I love the weather

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

In his book Black Postacards, Dean Wareham says that drummer Damon Krukowski wrote this one. I wonder if any other G500 songs were written by Damon or Naomi?

Anyway, it's a beautiful song, which I know now is about the sad state of Dean's friendship with his bandmates, Damon and Naomi.

@leamanc I figured it was about a deteriorating relationship and it makes sense it's about the band. It's too bad they couldn't just be friends, they made such great and unique music together.

Damon on this song -

Dean's attitude was horrendous at that point-- "I can't be bothered," was his catch phrase; he applied it to everything from lunch to overdubs. I even had to finish one of his lyrics for him; he'd run out of them and seemed to have stopped trying. All he had left was this line, "I'm sorry about your goldfish," and here we had this lovely tune already down on tape ["Sorry"], going to waste. I thought, well I know what I'm sorry about, so I wrote it on that theme and gave it to him.

@matt0009 I'm glad Damon helped finish it, this is a great song. Sometimes good art comes from suffering (though this is small comfort to the sufferer!)

Lets stop making apologies, and let things happen. The only true sense of home is inside you even if it is lonley sometimes.
