Check Mate

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

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
