Watching the wings cut through the clouds

Watching the raindrops blinking red and white

Thinking of you back on the groundThere with a fire burning in your eyes, I only halfway apologized

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

So 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 wait up

Switching time zones, can′t pick the pace up

I just passed out by the time you wake up

Best things come to those who wait

And it's bound to get rough on any road you take

But don′t you ever have a doubt and make no mistake

I can't wait to come back when I'm going away

So I′ll be sorry for now that I couldn′t be around

There are 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

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

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
