[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
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
[chorus: Mike]
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
[Verse 2: Mike]
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
[chorus: Mike]
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
[bridge: chester]
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
[Outro: Mike & (chester)]
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
