All the phones have rung and rung* |
|
They're off the hook, all but one |
|
And all the mail stacked up inside |
|
Up from the floor, a mile high |
|
And like one would, like a child |
|
I'm asking |
|
Like I could knock on your door |
|
Will you let me in? |
|
And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die |
|
I found out the truth is it's all a big lie |
|
I find that the words are hard to describe |
|
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply |
|
Climbing trees and paper planes |
|
Life as a kid, we're all the same |
|
Tears of joy, and sullen hearts |
|
Sticks and stones and broken arms |
|
And like one would, like a child |
|
I'm asking |
|
Like I could knock on your door |
|
Will you let me in? |
|
And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die |
|
I found out the truth is it's all a big lie |
|
I find that the words are hard to describe |
|
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply |
|
I found out what's wrong, and it's not you or I |
|
Or anyone else that you chose to deny |
|
It seems like the madness of choice in the life |
|
Has made it all clear if we run or we hide |
