Sorry Or Please Lyrics - Riot On An Empty Street - Kings Of Convenience

Five weeks in a prison, I made no friends 

There's more time to be done but I've got a week to spend 

I didn't pay much attention first time around 

Now you're hard not to notice, right here in my town 

Where the stage of my old life meets the cast of the new 

Tonight's actors, me and you 

Each day is taking us closer 

While drawing the curtains to close 

This far or further, I need to know 

Your increasingly long embraces 

Are they saying, sorry or please? 

I don't know what's happening, help me 

Through the streets, in the corners, there's a scent in the air 

I ask you out and I lead you, I know my way around here 

There's a bench I remember, and on the way there I find 

That the movements you're making are mirrored in mine 

And your hand is held open intentionally 

Or just what I want to see? 

Your increasingly long embraces 

Are they saying sorry or please? 

I don't know what's happening, help me 

I don't normally beg for assistance 

I rely on my own eyes to see 

But right now they make no sense to me 

Right now you make no sense to me
