[Verse 1]
Standing back before the angels get to me
Well, it seems such a sorry waste of time
Holding out on those who want the best for me
Well, I guess that I can't be blamed for trying

[Pre-Chorus]
It's really very funny, it wears me down
Waiting for that something

[Chorus]
Hey, you
Well, I'm sorry, but it's time to let you know
Hey, you
And it sounds a bit like laughing
I'd bend over backwards to let you know

[Verse 2]
Rolling back around the numbers on the wall
And it's sad, but I don't have much to show
Staying back before the angels get to me
And still in mine, it's the better way to go

[Pre-Chorus]
It's really very funny, it wears me down
Waiting for that something
[Chorus]
Hey, you
Well, I'm sorry, but it's time to let you know
Hey, you
And it sounds a bit like preaching
I'd stop needing backwards to let you know

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Hey, you
Well, I'm sorry, but it's time to let you know
Hey, you
And it sounds a bit like laughing
I'd stop needing backwards to let you know
