It's funny how the distance can make you feel close
And the things you lost are the things you want most
The weather's fine here, perfect shade of blue
I guess, that's why I've been thinking of you

So I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye
Oh, must be the mood I'm in
I'm thinking of you again
I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye

I know you're different now and I guess, I changed too
And I thought what was once so right was so wrong for you
Yesterday I was talking and I heard your name
The weather's fine here with a slight chance of rain

So I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye
Oh, must be the mood I'm in
I'm thinking of you again
I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye

Time makes you sorry for the things that you've done
Sometimes you walk away and sometimes you run
And the weather's fine here, I can feel a slight chill
Some things change, babe, and some never will

So I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye
Oh, must be the mood I'm in
I'm thinking of you again
I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye

I call you up to tell you why
To say I love you and to say goodbye
