Verse 1

I can change a flat tire seven minutes
Give or take a few seconds
I can ride a surfboard on a wave
Never had any lessons
I can tell you every president by name
Sing you every single word of Purple Rain
I can drive through Arizona
Without checking directions
But I’m still learning how to apologize

Verse 2

I can take a few lines from a book
Turn it into a love song
I like to think that I’m a pretty good friend
Someone to lean on
I can tell you where to buy a good guitar
And you know I can find Orion in the stars
I can recommend a really good therapist
If you ever need one
But I’m still learning how to apologize

Chorus

Yeah I know that no one’s perfect
And I hope you see I’m working
I don’t mean to leave you hurting
Can you see that I’m still learning
How to apologize

How to apologize

Verse 3

I can fry an egg sunny side up
No breaking the yellow
I can turn on the Tennessee charm
Have you at hello
I can talk my way out of any fight
Drink my coffee in the middle of the night
But when I start thinking
Maybe you were right
I turn into jello
I’m still learning how to apologize

Chorus

Yeah I know that no one’s perfect
And I hope you see I’m working
I don’t mean to leave you hurting
Can you see that I’m still learning
How to apologize

Post Chorus

How to apologize
I must have done it a thousand times
Still learning how to apologize

Bridge

I don’t know what to tell you
Cause the one thing left to say
Is nothing short of a breakthrough
So I hide it inside cause my pride
Keeps on getting in the way

Chorus

Yeah I know that no one’s perfect
And I hope you see I’m working
I don’t mean to leave you hurting
Can you see that I’m still learning
How to apologize

Refrain

How to apologize
I must have it a thousand times
Can you see that I'm still
Learning how to apologize
