Im Sorry
Parker Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But still the fog moves in
It takes me back it brings me home
To where it all began
I let you out, again
With the top back down and the sail up wind
Your out there again
Tell me how, can you tell me
Im sorry that this hurt you
Are you listening
You know I'll be
Right here for you
The silence here helps me wait
But only time can mend
Appreciate and celebrate
A life that never ends
I let you out, again
With the words you said there's now worry friend
Youre out there again
Don't let go cause I wont let go

The chorus is an honest apology, asking for forgiveness from the person he hurt. He wants them to know that they can rely on him and that he will always be there for them.
As the song progresses, the singer takes solace in the silence of the street, using the quiet reflection time to appreciate life and the people in it. He acknowledges that time is the only healer, but he is willing to wait patiently for the forgiveness he seeks. The final lines are a promise to stay in the relationship and not to let go, despite the hurt that was caused.
Overall, "I'm Sorry" is a deeply introspective song that deals with regret, forgiveness, and redemption. It acknowledges past mistakes and asks for forgiveness, while celebrating the importance of the people we love.
