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 seems that this experiment
|
isn't going quite the way I planned.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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 seems that this experiment
|
isn't going quite the way I planned.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I know I promised the world to you,
|
but now I'm half-way across the world
|
from you.
|
|
It's not enough for me.
|
I've got to live for me yeah.
|
For me, yeah.
