Fully Completely Lyrics
Bring me back in shackles
Hang me long out in the sun
Exonerate me
Forget about me
I recommend measures for ending it
Lover, she simply slammed the door
She said, "You're going to miss me
Wait and you'll see"
Fully and completely
I ponder the endlessness of the stars
Ignoring said same of my father
Either it'll move me
Or it'll move right through me
Fully and completely
Bring me back in shackles
And hang me long out in the sun
Exonerate me
Then forget about me
Wait and you'll see
Just wait and you'll see
Fully and completely
Fully and completely
Fully and completely
Hang me long out in the sun
Exonerate me
Forget about me
I recommend measures for ending it
Lover, she simply slammed the door
She said, "You're going to miss me
Wait and you'll see"
Fully and completely
I ponder the endlessness of the stars
Ignoring said same of my father
Either it'll move me
Or it'll move right through me
Fully and completely
Bring me back in shackles
And hang me long out in the sun
Exonerate me
Then forget about me
Wait and you'll see
Just wait and you'll see
Fully and completely
Fully and completely
Fully and completely

Genius Annotation
This is the title track of The Tragically Hip’s third album, Fully Completely (1992). In the live version of the song on the deluxe edition of the album, Gord Downie prefaces the song with the following statement:
We’d like to do a song now– it’s a St. Valentine’s day song about remorse and regret so incredibly backbreaking that it forces you into a bar every single night of the week and you wish you were home.
He also described it as:
not so much a confession as a rationalization … It was the day I started to feel again
