Reaching silence on my cell
It's not ringing, can't you tell?
Don't you page me,
I'm not down with technology,
Oh well.
In my opinion, you're better.
i won't forget her,
but please write me a letter.
i call these places that you go,
there's no messages at all.
mobility has got me calling companies at the mall.
oh well.
in my opinion, you're better.
i won't forget her,
but please write me a letter.
redial awhile
till i pick up the phone,
let the answering machine
tell you that i'm not home.
i exaggerate it greatly.
turn left, turn right.
all day, all night.
i need an ac adapter
just to convert my dark to light.
too late tonight,
two wrongs, no right now.
oh well.
in my opinion, you're better.
i won't forget her,
but please write me a letter.
redial awhile
till i pick up the phone,
let the answering machine
tell you that i'm not home.
i exaggerate it greatly.
