If the telephone would stop ringing,
I could probably get some sleep
I miss the people I used to know
But I’ll find someone to meet

I know you didn’t want to leave,
But baby you’ve got to have some foresight
Your decisions are purely emotional
Your brain serves just to rationalize

And now I hear this ringing
filling the room from the phone
Begging me “Boy,
you don’t have to be alone”

I never took into account
Your hunger for discord
But now that we’ve thought this out
I can see why you were bored

I start to wonder now
if the phone has stopped
and if the repetition is
Just my brain starting to shut off

And now as I drift lightly
Off to sleep
My mind gets to thinking
What could now never be

I answered the phone, heard a sigh on the line
She said she was sure I wouldn’t pick up this time
She begged me not to interrupt, she had thought of this all day
She said the start was the mistake, said we should try another way

We’ll try another way
