Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Twenty-two I met you, christmas never came so early
Small town bit dreams, it was you and me against the world baby
Nothing ever lasts forever you gave back the photographs
That trip to LA killed us baby
Hopin now its not too late coz

I'm saying sorry now can you tell your mumma I said hi
I wanna appologise, glad to hear that your doing alright

Yea coz I'm saying sorry now, fuck it I learnt how to loose a fight
I'm saying sorry now
I'm saying sorry now

Delicate and passionate but your daddy never let you cry
I was young and I was dumb, but you never came under the covers to check I was alright
Nothing ever lasts forever, no matter how hard you try
I moved on like thunder baby, lightening dont strike the same twice

I'm saying sorry now can you tell your mumma I said hi
I wanna appologise, glad to hear that your doing alright
Yea coz I'm saying sorry now, fuck it I learnt how to loose a fight

I'm saying sorry now
I'm saying sorry now
