Lyrics Dave Melillo

Dave Melillo

Excuses

Sitting in my car

But we don’t drive very far

The miles wouldn’t make a difference

The words I say

Cancel out the way you’ll think about me from now on

Don’t say a word

I know it sounds absurd

But I have a reason to what I’ve done

The fault is mine

And that fact haunts my mind

So I will make you take the blame

Somehow you’ll take it

Yes you will

And I’ll blame it on the way

You leave me here for days

So frequently you say

Farewell my friend

I blame it on the planes

That take you miles away

Ill blame it on the planes

Those goddamn planes

I drive you home

And take the longest road

And stop at every sign I see

And I keep my speed real slow

Before you leave

I take one last look

At something I can never have again, again

The worst part of all of this

Is I’m the one who violated all the codes we kept

The whole charade was bitter sweet

Cuz as I was beneath the sheets

I was hoping you would call me

Just so I could hear your voice

And I’ll blame it on the way

You leave me here for days

So frequently you say

Farewell my friend

I blame it on the planes

That take you miles away

Ill blame it on the planes

Those goddamn planes

But are you willing to give up those nights

I spent over your house

Straight from work

I weave through traffic

Just to sleep upon your couch

And now I feel like I have lost

A precious four years of my life

You can end without a question

Over something, that so trite

This is the worst mistake I’ve made

And I make thousands every day

If you give this one more shot

Ill make it up in every way

Ill call you twice I day

And drive you to the airport

Just so I can watch you leave

Even if you’re leaving me
