These Seven Notes

All you've got's apologies, and "take me back" phone calls from me

All you do is bawl and weep, each night as you fall asleep

All I've got's sealed envelopes, and all we've got are empty hopes

All we ride's this endless track, and all I had I can't get back

Not for lack of trying, though we feel like we are dying slowly

Day by week and month by year we think we hear each other clearly

Through those wires and dial tones we somehow feel like we're less lonely

We're not and we'll stay that way until these notes they fade away and

All I've got is these seven notes, They could get to you if you'd let them

All I've got's these letters I wrote, I singed and sealed them but never sent them

I've got three words stuck in my throat, I said them once, I'm not sure I meant them

All I've got's some songs and some quotes, About those years and how we had spent them

No more half apologies; let's make that our policy

No more walls or laying bricks, I'm coming out and saying it

These words I used to hide with veils, move like trains and ride the rails

To your door on sleepless tracks, I'll scream it out, I need you back

It seems that I am cursed this time, all I've got's these worthless lines

And rhymes at times like this seem empty, all they've done is up and sent me

Down and out and back and forth, pass the torch my skin's been scorched

By age's rays, we'll stay this way, until these notes, they fade away and

All I've got is these seven notes, They could get to you if you'd let them

All I've got's these letters I wrote, I singed and sealed them but never sent them

I've got three words stuck in my throat, I said them once, I'm not sure I meant them

All I've got's some songs and some quotes, About those years and how we had spent them

All we've got's regret and loss; all we're doing is getting lost

All it was is all it was, I don't know why we'd call it love

All I need's an aeroplane, to carry me right there again

All we had's a painted past, and just like us it's fading fast

Not for lack of trying, though we feel like we are dying slowly

Day by week and month by year we think we hear each other clearly

Through those wires and dial tones we somehow feel like we're less lonely

We're not and we'll stay that way until these notes they fade away and

All I've got is these seven notes, They could get to you if you'd let them

All I've got's these letters I wrote, I singed and sealed them but never sent them

I've got three words stuck in my throat, I said them once, I'm not sure I meant them

All I've got's some songs and some quotes, About those years and how we had spent them
