[Verse 1]
By the time I think of something smart to say
I’ll already be a hundred miles away, yeah
By the time you miss me, by the time you miss me
By the time you miss me every day, I miss you every day

[Chorus]
I stay up all night to see if you'll write me
A buzzing on my cell phone, a step outside the friend zone
If there are words you won't say, I will wait, that’s ok
But if you think you might, I’ll be there tonight

[Verse 2]
Am I dumb, are you mean to me?
Is it dumb how much you mean to me? Yeah
By the time you miss me, by the time you miss me
By the time you miss me every day, I miss you every day

[Chorus]
I stay up all night to see if you'll write me
A buzzing on my cell phone, a step outside the friend zone
If there are words you won't say, I will wait, that’s ok
But if you think you might, I’ll be there tonight
I’ll be there tonight
