i know you didn't mean it and you're sorry that i left
i'll go right on pretending i've got nothing to regret
except all of the times we wasted getting only second best
you always seemed to lose the spark when i was only half undressed
i drove across a sea of ice to find my own command
the distance paid a lonesome price to see its motherland
now if you would unbuckle sir, receive your reprimand
and hey i'm sorry 'bout so much baby but i know you'll understand
i'm sorry 'bout so much baby but i know you'll understand

how can i ever apologize? i meant you no such harm
i never knew i could possess that fatal kind of charm
i just wanted to be good to you but i found i was disarmed
by a lifetime of disillusionment and the distraction of the stars
i abdicated now i'm just a prince without a land
my subjects all adore me but for this i have been banned
now could i trade my guilt for a good flogging by your hand?
and hey i'm sorry 'bout so much baby but i know you'll understand
i'm sorry 'bout so much baby but i know you'll understand

i can't understand why you refuse my one request
just to press against my weaponry and then lay bare your chest
challenges like these can be won or lost or laid to rest
now we both agree to separate from the lonely castle steps
the kingdom is destabilized, the watchtower unmanned
the bedroom lies abandoned and the future is unplanned
but we've got the past to remind us of what's chivalrous and grand
and hey i'm sorry 'bout so much baby but i know you'll understand
i'm sorry 'bout so much baby but i know you'll understand

    General Comment:Does anyone know/notice that bits of this song (the noise and drums) are used in Born 2 B Wild by Thanksgiving which was also produced by Phil Elverum? I think that's interesting, and it also makes me think that a lot of this song's great instrumentation is thanks to Mr. Elverum.

    General Comment:the double-tracked middle is the best part of any song by her. let alone on this cd.

    this is the best song on the cd though.
    it's incredible. the light percussion in the last verse is astoundingly effective.

    this song is amazing.

    General Comment:Amazing song. It's about not realizing that the person you've been seeing is falling in love with you. You break up with them, not meaning to hurt them at all but you just can't seem to sit still. So now you apologize and plead for forgiveness and one last night together (if not a second chance).

    General Comment:One of the best tracks on C'mon Miracle. Mirah sounds amazing whether singing in her signature lilting style, or whispering in a sultry bedroom kind of way. "How can I ever apologize? I meant you no such harm. I never knew I could possess that fatal kind of charm." Great lyrics, fantastic vocals, good song all around.
