Apologies (album version) Lyrics
On and on we carry on
We turn off we turn on
The same old song
And I can't get you to sing along
So sit down and shut up
Or leave me
On and on we carry on (on we carry on)
We turn off we turn on (we turn on)
The same old song (we turn on)
And I can't get you to sing along (you to sing along)
So sit down and shut up
Or leave me (or leave me)
Crash rewind
Turn back time
That won't change a thing
Chorus:
What could I say
What could I do
Send your apologies to me
I couldn't give
Anything more
Send your apologies to me
Detain yourself a little more
I forgot what we were fighting for
And tomorrow you were out the door
No reply, It's goodbye
And it's easy
Detain yourself a little more (on and on we carry on)
I forgot what we were fighting for (we turn off we turn on)
And tomorrow you were out the door
No reply, It's goodbye
And it's easy
We could replay
Every scene
And it just won't change a thing
Chorus
What could I say
What could I do
Send your apologies to me (apologies to me)
I couldn't give
Anything more
Send your apologies to me (apologies to me)
On and on we carry on
We never seem to get along
On and on we carry on (on and on we carry on)
We never seem to get along
On and on we carry on
We never seem to get along
Chorus
(apologies to me)
What could I say (on and on)
What could I do (we carry on)
Send your apologies to me (we never seem to get along)
I couldn't give (on and on)
Anything more (we carry on)
Send your apologies to me (we never seem to get along)
What could I say (on and on)
What could I do (we carry on)
Send your apologies to me (we never seem to get along)
I couldn't give (on and on)
Anything more (we carry on)
Send your apologies to me (we never seem to get along)
We turn off we turn on
The same old song
And I can't get you to sing along
So sit down and shut up
Or leave me
On and on we carry on (on we carry on)
We turn off we turn on (we turn on)
The same old song (we turn on)
And I can't get you to sing along (you to sing along)
So sit down and shut up
Or leave me (or leave me)
Turn back time
That won't change a thing
What could I say
What could I do
Send your apologies to me
I couldn't give
Anything more
Send your apologies to me
I forgot what we were fighting for
And tomorrow you were out the door
No reply, It's goodbye
And it's easy
Detain yourself a little more (on and on we carry on)
I forgot what we were fighting for (we turn off we turn on)
And tomorrow you were out the door
No reply, It's goodbye
And it's easy
Every scene
And it just won't change a thing
What could I do
Send your apologies to me (apologies to me)
I couldn't give
Anything more
Send your apologies to me (apologies to me)
We never seem to get along
On and on we carry on (on and on we carry on)
We never seem to get along
On and on we carry on
We never seem to get along
(apologies to me)
What could I do (we carry on)
Send your apologies to me (we never seem to get along)
I couldn't give (on and on)
Anything more (we carry on)
Send your apologies to me (we never seem to get along)
What could I say (on and on)
What could I do (we carry on)
Send your apologies to me (we never seem to get along)
I couldn't give (on and on)
Anything more (we carry on)
Send your apologies to me (we never seem to get along)

sounds like a relationship on the rocks
It's not "detain yourself a little more" (what does that even mean??). It's "Today we say a little more." It's also "Tomorrow you ARE out the door."
i think this was about a girl and a guy in a relationship and the guy was trying very hard to have a good relationship but the girl just left. after that i think the girl wanted to come back but he is saying just send your apologies since its over and u shouldnt have walked away from something that could have been good. he couldnt have done anything more he tried his hardest for her but it still wasnt enough for her and now she wants him back but he wont cave in.
this is definately a break up song. there's only 3 types of songs these days: love, break ups, and death/addictions. haha, i think too much. :) the girl changed her mind, but the guy realized he doesn't want her anymore since she left. good song, typical.
Haha, first comment made me smile. And I agree with justmeggy:) too. It's a typical song about love/breakup. Whatever. I love it simply for the vocals and whole music part. The lyrics are goo, but I've heard better.
