Check Mate

I know I said I'd just be out for a minute Three days later and I missed a whole weekend You know I'm hopeless when my phone keeps ringing So I put it down, yeah, I put it down You've been with me all the way And I'm sorry, by the way You've been saying that I'm distant lately And you're hoping that'll change Can't wait Till I get home to see ya This drive couldn't feel any longer You know I'm gonna keep my promise When I'm spinning out, I'll be stickin' 'round Time is moving on without my permission I'm a passenger in all my decisions Tension piling up like dirty dishes Try to clean it up, it's never clean enough You've been with me all the way And I'm sorry, by the way You've been holding me together lately And I wanna do the same Can't wait Till I get home to see ya This drive couldn't feel any longer You know I'm gonna keep my promise When I'm spinning out, I'll be stickin' 'round I know it's taken me a while 'Cause I've been living in denial You've been with me all the way And I'm sorry, by the way Can't wait Till I get home to see ya This drive couldn't feel any longer You know I'm gonna keep my promise When I'm spinning out, I'll be stickin' 'round Get me off the ground, you always stick around When the chips are down, I'll be stickin' 'round
