Track from The Glimmer (2022)
Songwriter: Mark Jacob Lipman
Composer: Mark Jacob Lipman

lyrics

Sometimes we put our hands together
At the end of a song
Maybe because we liked the way
It drifted along
Maybe it broke the glass of youth
Did it scald you with the burning truth
Or perhaps it was just the thing to do
Just because

But I don’t want nobody to give me applause
Not for what I’ve done
Give me 20 years to turn my head around
Drop the smoking gun
Change from who I was
Until then
I don’t want nobody’s applause

Sometimes we agree
To walk into the sea
Even when we don’t know
How to kick our feet
Or how to tell someone the truth
With the lies just dodging every tooth
And skimming the surface of the blue
Just like a fraud

Chorus

Just say it, I’m sorry, just say it
It’s too late but I’m sorry, just say it

But I don’t want nobody to give me applause
Not for what I’ve done
Give me 20 years to turn my head around
Give my ears some distance from the sound
Drop the smoking gun
Change from who I was
Until then
I don’t want nobody’s applause (Just say it, I’m sorry, just say it)
