Just when you think you're on a roll You lose control Just when you think it's alright You lose the light A hard time had finally gone A new love in life had come Those were all sunny days 'Til the one some bad news came He said to her, "I have to take a walk" Don't wait up Don't wait up Wait up for me I'm sorry but I have to drink away the day Don't wait up Don't wait up 'Cause I will be everywhere, nowhere, somewhere I just need to be away A blissful future in mind The perfect kind Maybe a family someday How much can one pray? There is no meant to be Sometimes it's plain ugly The day's results came in And it was just heartrending He said to her, "I have to take a walk" Don't wait up Don't wait up Wait up for me I'm sorry but I have to drink away the day Don't wait up Don't wait up 'Cause I will be everywhere, nowhere, somewhere I just need to be away Don't wait up Don't wait up Wait up for me I'm sorry but I have to drink away the day Don't wait up Don't wait up 'Cause I will be everywhere, nowhere, somewhere I just need to be away
