Excuses - Dave Melillo

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
