lyrics

I've felt like..
I've been hanging on the cord forever
(Way.. too long..)
Whose waiting, on the line?
I'm not sure anymore..

But can't you pick up the phone
I'm just waiting to hear you
(one.. last time....)
Cause it seems you fear who
Could always love you..

Voicemail piling, message turned blue
Can't tell how much I've missed you..
Cause it seems I'm convincing the operator
There's someone here who thrives your hue..

Ring ring
Here's your arrival
My heart mailed to your inbox
Sweet words of ivory
But just words, not bribery

Ring ring
Here on the phone
My sweetened words turned to stone
Sweet words of ivory
All just words, not bribery

But can't you pick up the phone?
I'm just waiting to hear your my world..
Cause it seems you fear who,
Could always love you..

I've felt like..
I've been hanging on the cord forever
(Way too long..)
Whose waiting, on the line?
I'm not sure anymore..
(And my heart turns to stone, sinking to the lowest my heart..)

I know, I've been holding on this number too long
And so I've missed your words that make me strong
Cause your voice's a melody that brings a smile
Wishing we'd run off for miles
(Miles... Away.... Away.... Away..)
