The Buoys - Check Mate

Copied!

{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, yeh 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

{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

{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, yeah I'll be stickin' round
