[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
