Got me ten feet off the ground
- the persona is nearing the last straw of the relationship
I'm hearing what you say but I just can't make a sound
- the persona gets an explanation but doesn't listen anymore
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
- their relationship is a hot-and-cold one
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
- the damage has been done
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new
- the persona still loves the person apologizing
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
- the passion has died down
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Bridge (guitar/piano)
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...
Basically, this song is about a person putting his foot down. S/he is tired of the hot and cold relationship and won't take it anymore but s/he still loves him/her. :( Ain't that sad?
