If the Phone Doesn’t Ring, It’s Me
[Verse 1]
There are oceans of feelings between us
Currents that take us and sweep us away
That's why we seldom have seen us
In the light of a cold hard day
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lots of new friends with the same old answers
Open your eyes, you might see
If our lives were that simple, we'd live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring, it's me
[Chorus]
If the phone doesn't ring, you'll know that it's me
I'll be out in the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn't ring, you know that I'll be
Where someone can make me feel warm
It's too bad we can't turn and live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring, it's me
[Verse 2]
I've had good days and bad days and goin' half-mad days
I try to let go but you're still on my mind
I've lost all the old ways, I'm searchin' for new plays
Puttin' it all on the line
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Lots of new friends with the same old problems
Open your eyes, you might see
If our lives were that simple, we'd live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring, it's me
[Chorus]
If the phone doesn't ring, you'll know that it's me
I'll be out in the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn't ring, you know that I'll be
Where someone can make me feel warm
It's too bad we can't turn and live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring, it's me
[Refrain]
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
[Outro]
If it takes all the future, we'll live through the past
If the phone doesn't ring, it's me
