I Wasn’t There

[Verse 1: DERBY]
I'm so sorry, had to settle some things
I was sitting, drinking, thinking 'bout what hell I could bring you to share
When our eyes met, I wasn't there
Well, I could complicate or I could say what I mean
I was sitting, contemplating, on what heaven to sing in your ear
But I wasn't there

[Chorus: DERBY]
So can you find me?
Know there's magic in you, babe, because it binds me
I know it's you because you do it well
No denying, can't define it
Know there's malice in you, babe, I kinda like it
It's all-consuming, and you do it well
No surprises

[Verse 2: DERBY]
I went out sideways, I was setting the scene
I paid a quick visit to the answering machine
Where you lived, but you weren't there
Thought I saw an angel, maybe I saw a ghost
I swore I saw you with me just an hour ago
You wouldn't care if I wasn't there

[Chorus: DERBY]
So can you find me?
Know there's magic in you, babe, because it binds me
I know it's you because you do it well
No denying, can't define it
Know there's malice in you, babe, I kinda like it
It's all-consuming, and you do it well
No surprises

[Verse 3: DERBY]
I was off missing, and it's not what it seems
You were sewn into every single fiber of me
Will it tear if I'm never there?

[Outro: DERBY]
If I wasn't there
If I wasn't there
