[Verse 1]

Investments I made a little too late

I guess that's my fault for being impatient

With you on my mind

And now it's too late, you're halfway to Maine

Way up in a plane

And I'm down here waving bye, bye, bye

You're not by my side

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you don't know my pain, oh

Yeah, you just sit and wait

[Chorus]

And I can't be there when you need me

But I wish I could

[Verse 2]

Something you said

Went straight to my head

All that I could see was red

So I got up and fled

And now I'm waiting on it again

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause shit don't matter when you're thirty-four

Still stuck outside your door

[Chorus]

And I can't be there when you need me

But I wish I could

[Bridge]

And you

You're messing with my head

You finally got me out of bed

Oh, oh

[Chorus]

But I can't be there when you need me

But I wish I could

You just sit and wait for something

But I'm out of time
