This one is kind of about someone from the past coming back around and realizing that they screwed up. But the words are tired, and the apologies so long overdue that they're officially useless.
These are some lyrics I've had sitting around for a while but could never find a way to make work musically. There have also been I think around 4 choruses to this song now. And I've swapped out the second verse for a different verse at least twice now. This just goes to show you that you should never throw anything away.
So you took yourself around the world
To find something in your broken promises
But no that isn’t something you can find
These days
Now it’s that illusion of being free
That brings you down to your knees
I wish I had time for all of these words
I wish I had time for things you think I wish to have heard
I wish I had all the time in the world
For your expired apologies
These circling crows constantly flying about
Poisonous, and with such terrible names
You lost your judgement, you’re losing sleep
These days
You’re just now learning to breathe
When you find you need that reprieve
I wish I had time for all of these words
I wish I had time for things you think I wish to have heard
I wish I had all the time in the world
For your expired apologies
And you’re there stumbling to find the words
The ones you think I wish I had heard
I wish I had time for all of these words
I wish I had time for things you think I wish to have heard
I wish I had all the time in the world
For your expired apologies

The lyrics made me swallow. I always wanted a song written about me. Have to rethink that now. The music however is really nice.

Ouch, that is very forcefully put! The concept of an "expired apology" is great. I'm glad I'm not the target of these lyrics :). I think the music works perfectly for this. Good song!
