I reach across the ocean to the end of the line
Close my mouth and eyes and wait for a sign
Seconds of silence and a heavy sigh
I can hear you smiling
I can hear you cry
And I don't want this night to be our last
But I don't want to give it up so fast
Your pupils turn to pinpoints
Your hands start to shake
You cover up your mouth for appearance's sake
You listen for a question that I can't get out
We're so full of hope
We're so full of doubt
And I open up my mouth and then I stop
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Are you there?
I take a belt of whiskey as I cover the phone
I was kind of getting used to being alone
I finally remember what I wanted to say
I take a deep long breath and fire away
And to hell with every consequence
I haven't tried to come down since
Are you with me?
Are you there?
