Hesitation keeps your words on the tip of your tongue
Too careful with what you say and you're coming off dumb
And there's nothing left to be said on the telephone
Makes me wonder how I stuck around so long

Anticipation keeps you on the edge of your seat
But you're just too distracted to look up the people you meet
What was it I said that was so wrong?
Now I realize it was a lie all along

On the other line
A whole other life
But these dependencies I just cannot deny

Who's that on the phone?
It was you on the line
Sayin' it was my fault
But these things happen with time

On the other line
A whole other life
But these dependencies I just cannot deny
