feeling sorry

For several months now I have been on the library waiting list for Paramore's newest album "Brand New Eyes." I could have easily bought the album off iTunes or checked out all the songs via YouTube but for some reason my most rational thought was to wait for 83 people to listen to that CD first before I could possess that very record in my own hands.

Now that I have the CD inserted in my car stereo I'm loving what I've waited so long to hear. On their last album I became obsessed with one song in particular called "Hallelujah." That song changed my life for the better. Cliche, I realize, but true. This time, though I haven't been remarkably changed yet, I do find myself listening to a new song over and over and over again. It's called "Feeling Sorry" and I'm ridiculously obsessed. So of all songs on their newest album, this one has caught my ear and required my finger to compulsively press repeat.

Lyrics alone don't make the song. I'd say the guitar and harmony contribute greatly. But for viewing pleasure I've listed the lyrics below. I highly recommend jamming out to this song as soon as possible. Preferably with windows down.

"Feeling Sorry" by Paramore

We still live in the same town, well, don't we?
But I don't see you around anymore
I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you
Your days are numbered at 24
And I'm getting bored waiting round for you,
We're not getting any younger, and I
Won't look back 'cause there's no use
It's time to move forward

I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time for feeling sorry

I tried not to think of what might happen,
When your reality, finally, cuts through
Well, as for me, I got out and I'm on the road
The worst part it that this (THIS!) this could be you
You know it too, you can't run from your shame
You're not getting any younger, time,
Is passing by, but you waited awake
It's time to roll over

I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time for feeling sorry

And all the best lies,
They are told with fingers tied
So cross them tight,
Won't you promise me tonight
If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out

I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time, I've got no time

I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
Got no time!

I've got no time for feeling sorry!
I've got no time for feeling sorry!
