Sorry For Now

[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

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

[Chester rapping]
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 pace 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

[Mike and Chester]
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
(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
