Montreal
Bahamas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When, we started out I had my doubts
I let them in
Now I can begin
When I apologize
I see it in your eyes
You don't give a damn
Honey please
Don't give up on your man

Time, has it ways
Of stealing days from me and you
But what can we do?
If every time I call
All of Montreal
Don't seem like no plan
Honey please
Don't give up on your man

Of all the things we said
Laying in our bed
Which words will I hold true?
If I could stay the course
My voice, how it's horse
From screaming, "The sky is blue"

Now here we are again
Both wishing now was then
When I do all I can

Honey please
Don't give up on your man

When we started out I had my doubts
At the beginning of our relationship, I had doubts about us

I let them in
I allowed myself to be influenced by my doubts

Now I can't begin
My doubts are preventing me from moving forward

When I apologize
When I try to make things right

See it in your eyes
I can tell from your expression

You don't give a damn
You don't care

Honey please don't give up on your man
Please don't abandon me

Time has its ways of stealing days
Time is passing us by

From me and you
From our relationship

Now what can we do
What actions can we take now?

If every time I crawl
If every time I struggle
