When you called

it was good to hear your voice,

but harder to hear you laugh.

I had to choke back tears when you said

you were okay with this.

And it seemes that this experiment

isin't going quite the way I planned.



And I'll say,

"It's not enough for me

to keep a tight grip on the phone.

This line can give only so much slack,

before you're hearing my dial tone."



You and I agreed to give it time

and I thought that this was helping at first.

But every minute away from you

just pushed me further away.

And it seemes that this experiment

isin't going quite the way I planned.



And I'll say,

"It's not enough for me

to keep a tight grip on the phone.

This line can give only so much slack,

before you're hearing my dial tone."



I know I promised the world to you,

but now I'm halfway across the world

from you.



It's not enough for me.

I've got to live for me yeah.

For me, yeah.
