She keeps on calling me

I keep hanging up

It's not that I don't want to talk

I just fear listening

As a child it worried me

That all the ones I loved would one day die

I still recall when I realized

I couldn't save them no matter how i tried

I couldn't wait to be a man

The grown-ups seemed to handle life just fine

But here I am

Still terrified

See, growing up will just teach you how to smile

I followed you from the sun in my childhood

I followed you through the river to the sea

I followed you where the waves turn to wasteland

I followed you

Now they follow me

As a child I felt too old

And now when I'm grown-up I feel too young

A different kind so I've been told

Just slightly out of reach and out of time

I count the years to understand

The faces of the friends I used to know

I close my eyes and they're still the same

How to mourn the living

That are still around

Yet somehow gone

I followed you from the sun in my childhood

I followed you through the river to the sea

I followed you where the waves turn to wasteland

I followed you

Now they follow me

I'm on my way now

I'm mostly doing fine

They rarely see me cry

But you are always on my mind

I'll live another night, I'll walk another mile

But you are always on my mind

I'm mostly doing fine

They rarely see me cry

But you are always on my mind

I'll live another night, I'll walk another mile

Still you are always on my mind

She keeps on calling me

She keeps on calling, calling, calling, calling, calling

I'm on my way now

She keeps on calling me

I'm on my way now

She keeps on calling, calling, calling, calling

I keep hanging up
