Not There for You

Put your favorite record on
Put the phone where I can hear
A few hundred miles away
I’m wishing I was right there tonight

I’m getting lost inside the white lines
I’m reading salvation on highway signs
You & I it’s been quite some time
Not gonna make it home tonight

But I’ll be there for you
A good time song that you can listen to
A picture to make you smile
And forget to cry every time that you try to
I’m gonna be there for you
Even when i’m not there for you

We were dancing underneath the kitchen lights
And falling asleep in the living room every night
You & I it’s been quite some time
It’s been so long since I’ve held you tight

But I’ll be there for you
A box of notes, all those letters I wrote to you
The goodbye kiss that lingers on your lips for so long, until I’m not gone
I’m gonna be there for you
When I’m not there for you

And if I take the long way home
No matter how long I'm gone
I’m gonna be there for you
Even when I’m not there for you
