Watching the wings cut through the clouds Watching the raindrops blinking red and white Thinking of you back on the ground That willful fire burning in your eyes I only halfway apologize and I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around Sometimes things refuse To go the way we planned Oh I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around There will be a day That you will understand You will understand after a while you may forget but just in case the memories cross your mind You couldn't know this when I left Under the fire of your angry eyes I never wanted to say goodbye and I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around Sometimes things refuse To go the way we planned Oh I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around There will be a day That you will understand You will understand Yeah, stop telling 'em to pump the bass up Tried to call home but nobody could wake up Switch your time zones can't pick the bass up I just passed out by the time you wake up best things come to those who wait and it's time to get pumped on any road you take don't ever have a problem make no mistake I can't wait to come back when I'm going away and I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around Sometimes things refuse To go the way we planned Oh I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around There will be a day That you will understand Oh I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around There are things we have to do that we can't stand (Things we have to do that we can't stand) Oh I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around There will be a day That you will understand You will understand You will understand You will understand
