I'm Sorry Now
Jude Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to my world
Won't you please find a seat
There is no need to worry
I'm the only one to meet
I just wanted to express myself to you
Hey, undiluted and with nobody else to confuse

See, I was Marvin Gaye and Bond, James Bond
I was taking all day so I could turn you on
And I hated when you'd look away
When I was inside and slowly gettin' to it
It didn't help a lot when you would turn around
And I was on the top
And you would say
Baby, you can do it

I'm sorry now
And it's too late
I'm sorry now
Do you have to hate me?
I'm sorry now
So sorry, yeah
I wish you wished I wished you love
I wish you wished I wished you love

I hate spaghetti
And I also hate divorce
You probably already know that by then, of course
I like the earthquakes
I like it when the world shakes
I like the cracks it takes out of the walls
When two people
Lovers
Are acting like dolls in the arms of each other
That's my alarm

I'm sorry now
And it's too late
I'm sorry now
Do you have to hate me?
I'm sorry now
So sorry, yeah
I wish you wished I wished you love
I wish you wished I wished you love
I wish you wished I wished you love

Life is so unkind
You can fall behind
You know that I'm inclined
To ease your mind
Anytime

So welcome, baby
I wondered when your countenance would change
From sunshine and vanilla
To the raven tones of rage
And my back never looked so broad to you
As now, when turned upon the fool who spurned me
Boo hoo hoo

I'm sorry now
And it's too late
I'm sorry now
And you have to hate me
I'm sorry now
So sorry, yeah
I wish you wished I wished you love
I wish you wished I wished you love
I wish you wished I wished you love
I wish...
I wish...
I wish...
I wish...
I wish you wished I wished you love
I wish you wished I wished you love
I wish you wished I still wanted love with you




But I'm through it
Forget you

Overall Meaning

In "I'm Sorry Now," Jude describes a conversation or a monologue with someone who he wants to express himself to. He invites them to his world and asks them to find a seat, reassuring them that there's nothing to worry about because he is the only one there. He then goes on to refer to himself as a combination of Marvin Gaye and James Bond and talks about wanting to turn this person on. He feels frustrated when they look away when he's inside, but appreciates when they turn around and say he can do it. The tone then shifts when he apologizes for something, even though it's too late. He wishes they wished he wished them love, and he's sorry for hurting them.


The song's lyrics seem to address a past relationship that didn't end well, with the singer expressing remorse for his actions. He admits that he was wrong and that he wishes things could have been different. However, it's too late to change the past, and his former partner may not be willing to forgive him. Jude seems to be grappling with regret and the idea that he's lost something valuable. He's trying to make amends, but it may be too little too late.
