The crimes I've committed aren't heard by any judge
And there are only two in this courtroom
And I must confess
What's done is done
And I'm the type that can't be conned
Into being convinced
And we both know this

I should be ashamed of this
I'm not
Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, the words, the hook (x2)

These acts of immorality
Are the only things keeping me quiet
Can't you just accept the fact that
I'm only loyal as my options
I can't believe that you would ever trust me

I should be ashamed of this
I'm not
Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, the words, the hook (x2)

You could call me a rolling stone
Cause I'm always on the road
Every night I wonder if you're there alone (x2)

I should be ashamed of this
I'm not
Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, the words, the hook (x2)

    General Comment:You guys might be right about the grapes, but I always took it as "sour grapes" so someone did something wrong to him in the past...thoughts?

    this song is actually the second song i like by this band. right well obv he is cheating on her .. and all yu need to do is read the lyrics ye? And the bit that gets me is the whole "You could call me a rolling stone
    Cause I'm always on the road
    Every night I wonder if you're there alone"

    because hes cheating on her, hes wondering if she's doing the same because obv tbe cheater will alwaya wonder WHEN they are going to be the cheatee.~

    General Comment:Hearing this song makes me think of the situation I was in recently. I think that he had been screwed over by a girl and the girl wants to get back with him, and he got even. And when he says "I should be ashamed of this I'm not, cause I have tasted grapes" he's saying that he's not ashamed of what he did because he felt like shit about what she did to him, the "grapes". Which I think grapes means sour grapes.

    General Comment:i saw this song performed live and it was amazing :]

    i think its about a guy that did something bad to a girl [like cheating on her?] but he doesn't have any regrets about it.

    General Comment:this song is definitely about a guy who wants a girl but knows he can get away with doing whatever he wants behind her back and she won't be able to do anything aboutit.


    You could call me a rolling stone
    Cause I'm always on the road
    Every night I wonder if you're there alone

    but at the same time he wants her to be loyal to him.

    General Comment:Amazing song. amazing.
    ok so this song is obv about 2 people who are in a serious relationship and they guy is unfaithful. He knows what he's done is unnacceptable and immoral, thats why he says "The crimes I've committed aren't heard by any judge
    And there are only two in this courtroom"....the song uses their relationship as a metaphorical "trial" and they are both judges and both agree that its wrong but know hes gonna cheat anyway. thus the next line in the song:
    "What's done is done and I'm not the type that can't be conned into being convinced.
    We both know this." which also is saying he's not going to be sweet talked(conned) into being monogomous.

    "I should be ashamed of this, I'm not,
    'Cause I have tasted grapes." I interpret this as the fact that grapes can be sweet sometimes and sour at other times. this is the most controversial line of the song bc it can be interpretted in so many diff ways.I think hes saying he knows its wrong (sour taste) but its so sweet (that hot lovin' (lol)) that hes gonna continue.

    "This smile, don't look.
    It's my bait, my words, the hook."- i love this line. the whole song he's telling the girl im gonna cheat i know its wrong but i like it and im not gonna stop and the song is worded in a charming way that makes it sounds attractive but we certainly wouldnt want to hear our own sig. other say these words. he warns the girl that hes going to charm her and shes gonna fall for him bc of his smile and smooth talking.


    These acts of immorality are the only things keeping me quiet (His affairs keep him happy-he would make things bad for her if he couldnt have his affair)
    Why can't you just accept the fact that I'm only as loyal as my options? (he'll keep her until something better comes along)
    I can't believe that you would ever trust me.(self explanitory)


    You could call me a rolling stone
    'cause I'm always on the road
    Every night I wonder if you're there alone.
    a rolling stone is always on the road (touring)hes unfaithful to her and hes so blatant about him and hes admitting, at the end of the song, that his unfaithfulness makes him suspicious about whether she is indeed having an affair as well.
