Jump Back Jake and the Echo​-​Friendly - Still Not Sorry

lyrics

I whispered in your ear
in the bed in the night time
that I could protect you from evil
and bad times

on the 7th you believed me
oh but honey by the 8th
in the strength of our love
you lost all your faith

and you left me in a hotel in Atlanta
wearing nothing but the marks from your teeth
and all you took with you was regret and relief
yeah all you took with you was regret and relief

If I was born to lose you
I'd have lost you just the same
Whether I had managed to screw up every step
or played a perfect game

I wouldn't know
'cause I can't see the numbers when they flash across my screen
too busy waiting for a vision
the kind of information
that's only found in dreams

And I always hoped that I'd be the exception
to all the boys you mentioned

Who's gonna get me in trouble
who's gonna fill me with regret
'cause my hearts been toyed with
but never destroyed and
I'm still not sorry yet

If I was born to love you
I'd love you still today
whether you were in my bed or telling me
that you just don't feel that way

about me anymore
but maybe if I listened when you said those hurtful things
I wouldn't be praying to god I see your name on the screen
every time my cellphone rings

And while everyone's out looking for protection
I'm Asking this question:

Who's gonna get me in trouble
who's gonna fill me with regret
'cause my hearts been toyed with
but never destroyed and
I'm still not sorry yet

I still need someone to fight for
A reason to stay up late
And what if I told you
I didn't love you anymore?
Would you be relieved
or feel you made a mistake

Relief and Regret
I'm still not sorry yet

Relief and regret
I'm still not sorry yet

about

The Echo Friendly

Part Brooklyn, part Memphis–The Echo-Friendly produce a genuine brand of indie pop that is hard not to love. On-again-off- again couple Jake R. and Shannon E. emote a personal narrative, as their lead vocals blend seamlessly with the band’s steady percussion and distorted guitar. After the June debut of their hypnotic single “Same Mistakes” they grant us another head-bob-worthy tune “Boats”.
