Hey it's me what a big surprise

Calling you up from a restaurant

Around the bend

I just got in from way up North

I'm aching tired now

And I could use a friend

I might be a fool

To think that you do

Want to see me again



It's been awhile since I talked to you

Nothing wrong

Just nothing ever goes as planned

Many times I thought I'd call

I didn't have your number in my hand

I know it's true

You'd never do

The same thing to me



I never meant to make you cry

And though I know I shouldn't call

It just reminds us of the cost

Of everything we've lost

Bad timing that's all



Maybe soon there'll come a day

When no more tears will fall

If we each forgive a little bit

And we both look back on it

As just bad timing that's all



We used to have so many plans

Something always seemed to turn out wrong

I never could catch up to you

Moving on and doing what you've done

I don't know why

The harder I try

The harder it comes



I never meant to make you cry

And though I know I shouldn't call

It just reminds us of the cost

Of everything we've lost

Bad timing that's all



Maybe soon there'll come a day

When no more tears will fall

If we each forgive a little bit

When we both look back on it

Just bad timing that's all
