I've been outta sight
I've been worried 'bout you lately
Runnin' outta time
Wishin' you would come and save me

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna roll with it (Yeah, yeah)
Tryna get control of it (Yeah, yeah)
Why can't I let go of it? (Yeah, yeah, mmm)
Gotta find somebody quickly, mmm, yeah

[Chorus]
I got a bad idea
How 'bout we take a little bit of time away?
I got a bad idea
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah, forget about me
