The bags were packed and the door behind you Was locked and without a care You loaded up the car and got comfy And drove so far away But as the years rolled by with very little contact Those who chose to stay Would wonder why you never came to visit As all the memories fade But you sat in your chair Alone without regret And the TV was all you ever really needed for company So it comes to this in a wave form And I don't mind, no, I don't mind If it washed me away The anger and the sadness that I'd wait for As it's not alright, not alright If it washes me away So here we are now and far too much time has Gone and passed away The hope or need for reconciliation Has gone and passed away And if there could be one thing to learn From all this cavalcade Of far too many past transgressions That always end in grey And there's a hope of someday making peace but Maybe not today So you sat in your chair Alone without regret And the TV was all you ever really needed for company So it comes to this in a wave form And I don't mind, no I don't mind If it washes me away The anger and the sadness that I'd wait for As it's not alright, not alright That you don't give more For crying out loud For nearly 30 years of nothing Tell me you're sorry Tell me you're sorry out loud 'Cause though I may not wanna hear it Just say you're sorry Tell me you're sorry out loud For nearly 30 years of nothing Tell me you're sorry Tell me you're sorry out loud And don't think it comes with forgiveness You did nothing ♪ So it comes to this in a wave form And I don't mind, no, I don't mind If it washes me away The anger and the sadness that I'd wait for As it's not alright, not alright If it washes me away
