Rosenstock, Jeff - I'm Serious, I'm Sorry Lyrics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GhVU0DArlw They basically stole the whole song... Love you Jeff, hope you keep killin it

my god

Buddy. Remember ya, buddy. Ben a few years. Lol....

I dont get it

Without irony...brutal

Haha I'm just remembering Jeff Rosenstock's encore in Glasgow. He was like "Who wants to hear 'Hall of Fame'?" Crowd: Yeaaaaah! "Who wants to hear 'I'm Serious, I'm Sorry'?" Crowd: YEEEEAAAAAH! "Alright, here's a song a my friend who died in a car crash." YEEEEAAAAAHHH! WOOOOOOO!

wow kermit has gone through some shit

Jeff Rosenstock is underrated

reminds me a bit of finch - letters to you

I didn’t know that he got in a car crash
We could have been friends, could have got married
Could have had grandkids, sent them to college
At least attended each other’s weddings
I didn’t know that you stayed home for hours
Calling his parents asking for answers
Skipping your prom night, crying and praying
Up to a God that you never believed in


Meghan held your body
As you were sobbing at the party
And I couldn’t leave the kitchen
I ingested too much poison


I wanted to tell you I know how it feels when
The people you love just start disappearing
Ashamed that you took their presence for granted
But I didn’t want to seem condescending
I didn’t know that you’d relive the moment
The doctor came out with a frown and a clipboard
And you wandered home with no ride feeling stupid
That you thought that this was a regular visit

Meghan held your body
As you were sobbing at the party
And I couldn’t help from staring
And creating extra tension
Watching Meghan hold your body
As you were sobbing at the party
And I couldn’t leave the kitchen
I ingested too much poison


Were you supposed to not go to college?
Stay in your mom’s house on the computer
Googling grief cures, talking to no one
Waiting for life to start feeling better?
Waiting for pain to not be a constant?
Waiting to feel like anyone’s honest?
Waiting for me to stop being sarcastic
Because I can’t accept (because I can’t accept)
Because I can’t accept all the bad things that happen


Oh, I swear I’m sorry
That I saw you at the party
That I stood there saying nothing
While you wept before your new friends
Oh, I’m serious, I’m sorry
Oh, I’m serious, I’m sorry

This song has been stuck in my head all damn day.

I don't always sob at parties. But when I do, Meghan holds my body.

This is painfully unfunny

"I can't accept all the bad things that happen" hits me hard man

This says many things I wish I could say to a lot of people in my life past, present, and future.

American 'The Smith Street Band' anyone?

Jeff produced their 3rd album.

Mad chills from this song.

This song kills me, and envigorates me at the same time.

this song is basically gloomy sunday. so sad.

Broke my heart

This sounds like Common People by Pulp

Paul Piper I forgot about that song oh man gotta go listen to it again

Paul Piper it sounds more like disco 2000s chorus

When I first listened to this song I was on the public bus to University with a full load of people and all I could do is stare at the lyrics and shudder in an attempt to hold back tears. Its silly but sometimes I get something out of it when other people share things like this so heres to anyone else out there that has a weird fetish for sharing emotions with internet strangers.

yeah dude, song gives me the feels.

that is exactly the same way I heard this song for the first time

It's because you can be yourself with a coverage of the internet, man.

Michael Goelz if you would like something similar, look up watsky's "wounded healer." I can't listen to it in public, I just start to break down.

You're not the only one. I cry to music in public all the time.

honestly? Jeff is my hero and an absolute godsend

At some point he's gonna explode. There's not many people that know him, but those that do feel it just like you do! Absolute godsend.

A song that delivers feels... I'm loving it.

begginin sounds like disco 2000

Jeff writes songs that bum me out in all the best ways.

Breaks my goddamn heart

This song is soooo insane

Jeff is my hero

So fucking good
