Songs that say sorry through accountability, regret and a real plea for another chance
From Taylor Swift’s clear-eyed regret to Player’s request for reconciliation, these songs treat an apology as more than a word.
Lyrics
The Pull
[Verse 1: Jason Scheff]
Summertime came too soon
Summers in Kansas often do
And the air was still
I felt the pull
[Verse 2: Bill Champlin]
I recall the heat rising
From the ground in waves
And I knew I was
The first to pass this way
[Chorus: All]
I believe I stepped
Across some line
Or I stumble through
The doorway to space and time
Like a drunk
Who blacks out from the wine
Never remembers his name
[Verse 3: Jason Scheff]
I always feel so alone
Wherever I am
I feel the pull
And the life I've left
Behind the pull
[Verse 4: Bill Champlin]
And in case I have no future
I've got the past
