Sitting there on a northbound train Making do with those idle hands Santa Barbara in the Spring Where the unraveling began I ran off with him because I couldn't get through to you You said I was evil inside And that might be the truth I've never fired a gun But a recoil has sure thrown me down Picking at this knot Unthreading lines so tightly wound I said I've got to get it together When both ends they started to fray Battle stunned by chanted echoes Of things I still want to say I ripped up all your letters Stopped mouthing apologies Laid right there on his moonlit floor And finally came clean Ooh, ooh, ooh Sa magic 8 ball To put the answers right there in my hands Tugged at his loosest string Another unraveling began If it's any constellation It wasn't worth all of this Pedal steel on my stereo and all these words on my lips I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry for this I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I wish I could forget I thought you should know, Wanted you to know When I ran off with him When I ran off with him I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please accept my apology If it's any constellation I don't regret anything
