Apology Rejected Lyrics
Now I'm sitting at a green light singing, "Whoa-oh-oh-oh!"
(OH!)
I could sit here all night singing, "Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh!"
(OH!)
Opportunity called and I answered.
It was the biggest mistake of my life.
My lips dismissed my clear conscious.
I kissed it goodbye.
And if I could, I'd take it all back, take it all back, take it,
And to the one I still wish I knew,
I wish that I could make it up to you.
Now I'm sitting at a green light.
I could sit here all night singing,
"Where do I go from here?"
Now I'm sitting at a green light.
This could unintentionally be the end of me.
My biggest regret is that I let you down.
(My biggest regret is that I let you down.)
God willing, I hope you got your filling of drama.
(God willing, I hope you got your filling of drama.)
And if I could, I'd take it all back, take it all back, take it,
And to the girl whom I'll say, "I do."
I wish that I could make it up to you.
Now I'm sitting at a green light.
I could sit here all night singing,
"Where do I go from here?"
Now I'm sitting at a green light.
This could unintentionally be the end of me.
Now I'm sitting at a green light singing, "Whoa-oh-oh-oh!"
(OH!)
A guilty conscious needs no accuser.
My guilty conscious is no excuse for this.
With my God as my guide, my wounds will heal in time,
In time.
Now I'm sitting at a green light.
I could sit here all night singing,
"Where do I go from here?"
Now I'm sitting at a green light.
This could unintentionally be...
Now I'm sitting at a green light.
I could sit here all night singing,
"Where do I go from here?"
Now I'm sitting at a green light.
This could unintentionally be the end of me.
Now I'm sitting at a green light.
I could sit here all night singing,
"Where do I go from here?"
Now I'm sitting at a green light.
This could unintentionally be the end of me.
(OH!)
I could sit here all night singing, "Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh!"
(OH!)
It was the biggest mistake of my life.
My lips dismissed my clear conscious.
I kissed it goodbye.
And to the one I still wish I knew,
I wish that I could make it up to you.

Here he's saying that he had a choice whether to cheat or not and he took it, but now feels guitly for what he did.
"And if I could, I'd take it all back, take it all back, take it, And to the one I still wish I knew, I wish that I could make it up to you"
Since then they've lost touch and he regrets making the choice that pushed her away.
"Now I'm sitting at a green light. I could sit here all night singing, "Where do I go from here?" Now I'm sitting at a green light. This could unintentionally be the end of me."
Now he's living life and it would be acceptable and appropriate for him to move on but he can't knowing that if he did it wouldn't be the same as what he lost. That being said, he's stuck in a rut of nostalgia and the constant comparison of "her vs. them" that never seems to come out with anyone other than her as a winner.
"A guilty conscious needs no accuser. My guilty conscious is no excuse for this. With my God as my guide, my wounds will heal in time, In time."
He's saying he knows what he did and it's no excuse for him to be in the rut that he's found himself in, he's going to move even though he's not fully sure if he's ready, he'll try.
