The Phone Call
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I had to call, I know it's late
I had to talk, I had to hear you
Say something, say anything
The line is silent but I feel your breath
That silence - it's death, it's death
It's killing me
There is so much that I regret
I can't exist like this
I need forgiveness
Play along now ,keep him on now
Across the boundaries of time and space
We will hunt him with our deadly trace
I was sitting home on my own
I just thought I would phone
Just thought I would phone, yeah
I got your number and I know where you live
I don't wanna hurt you, I just want to give
My heart my heart, do you hear it, I'll rip it out
I still hear those cries and those tears
That look in your eyes
I just wanna apologize
I'm sorry, god, I'm sorry
All that I've done all my mistakes
I can't live with my disgrace, I'm damned
Play along now, sing a song now
With the aid of our technology
We will suck him down eventually
I was sitting home on my own I
Just thought I would phone
Just thought I would phone, yeah
Listen to the bells, listen to the bells
I am a crab, I live in a shell
You call this living, I call it
Hell! I'm living in hell
I see your picture on the bedroom door
That's all I have to hang onto
Anymore
That's all I've got that's just one voice, it's loud and it's clear
The day of judgement, it's here
Play along now, sing along now
I was sitting home on my own
I just thought I would phone
Just thought I would phone, yeah
