Lyrics

And I'm off my shift and I'm driving home
And I'm feeling tired, I'm feeling old
And before I know it I'm on your street
And I'm at your door, I still got my key
I apologize, this isn't what it seems
I'm not in control, it's just muscle memory
I deleted everything just in time
Kept the silence up, never crossed that line
Except for last week when I sent that note
I just wanted to show you a thing I wrote
I apologize, this isn't what it seems
I'm not in control, it's just muscle memory
Wanna grab your hand, wanna taste your mouth
Wanna tell you everything I think now
Wanna take that trip to New Mexico
Wanna call you up, bring you to a show
I apologize, this isn't what it seems
I'm not in control, it's just muscle memory
And I'm getting close and I'm crying out
And my lips they form a familiar sound
But I close the door before more escapes
And my lip pours blood all over my face
I apologize, this isn't what it seems
I'm not in control, it's just muscle memory
I know it's not mine and it never was
But I want it now, and I miss your touch
And the only thing I can think to say is
I'm sorry now that it's gone away
I apologize, this isn't what it seems
I'm not in control, it's just muscle memory
