The dial tone is all that sings

It's raining hard inside and far away

What's so new

This never-ending drama won't fade

my guts a coil and my only drain



Will this never end

It's breaking heart It's bruising head

Why does the good go so bad

All the joy is fading fast



The contradictions they are killing me

This pretzel logic makes her hard to receive

So fall out again

And swallow me whole

Everything's changed from blowing kisses to throwing stones



Night trades with day

And let dawn begin to break

Once again she knows me too well

How to heal how to help



For a while I am saved by her smile

And all the harm comes undone

Just soon enough to stop the flood

The overflow

Should her charm not hold

It could drown me today

Must the river run so high my love



You know your smile can dam the river that I have of...you
