Sorry Or Please - Kings Of Convenience

Five weeks in a prison

I made no friends

There’s more time to be done, but

I’ve got a week to spend

I didn’t pay much attention first time around

But now you’re hard not to notice

Right here in my town

Where the stage of my old life

Meets the cast of the new

Tonights actors… me and you

Each day is taking us closer

While drawing the curtains to close

This far, or further, I need to know

Your increasingly long embraces

Are they saying sorry or please?

I don’t know what’s happening

Help me

Through the streets

On the corners

There’s a scent in the air

I ask you out and I lead you

I know my way around here

There’s a bench I remember

And on the way there I find that the movements you’re making

Are mirrored in mine

And your hand is held open

Intentionally, or just what I want to see?

Your increasingly long embraces

Are they saying sorry or please?

I don’t know what’s happening, help me

I don’t normally beg for assistance

I rely on my own eyes to see

But right now they make no sense to me

Right now you make no sense to me
