Lyrics:

Never thought I’d see you like this
You’re calling me back
As you’re sat there crying in your Fiat 500

You’ve taken on extra shifts
‘Cos your weekend job won’t pay for sh*t
And you worry

Oh, darling don’t hurt your brain
A face like that’s too good to save
For me only

Don’t waste time
Like I’m wasting mine
Drowning in doubt

And it was going alright
Now you’re wasting time
Wearing me down

Oh, I’ve been a mess
The year that I’ve had
I’ve been failing
And I hate myself for that

Oh, well
So don’t waste time
Like I’m wasting mine
You’ve gotta get out

And I’ll be here when you’re back

Your eyes welled up and swollen
If I was a betting man
I’d say you took that well then

But what have I got to lose?
I’m all washed up, I’m out of use
And I’ve fallen

I don’t want that for you
And a slow down now
Might mean you miss your calling

Oh, don’t waste time
Like I’m wasting mine
Drowning in doubt

And it was going alright
Now you’re wasting time
Wearing me down

Oh, I’ve been a mess
The year that I’ve had
I’ve been failing
And I hate myself for that

Oh, well
So don’t waste time
Like I’m wasting mine
You’ve gotta get out

Yeah, I’ll be here when you’re back

Yeah—
I’ll be here when you’re back
Oh
Yeah—
I’ll be here when you’re back
Oh
Back
Yeah—
I’ll be here when you’re back
Back, back, back, b-back, back
Yeah—
I’ll be here when you’re back
Oh
Yeah—
I’ll be here when you’re back
