作曲 : Dan Godlin
Seven years, and I've counted the tears from your eyes
You were wise, said just give me a month, I'll be fine
You left, you know—you sent me all that you wrote from the heart
You were smart, but not clever enough
For your words cut in thirds, from the lows to the highs
Rest assured, all I heard's your life
Everything you say gets caught in the doorway
No need to listen
Why can't they ever be?
'Cause everything's missing
Ten thousand words on the phone
You went away, and I've counted each day since your trip
Get a grip—you are no different than you were before
Truth be told, your life was never on hold
Now you're back, so unpack
Don't even think of reciting all those words—cut in thirds, from the lows to the highs
Rest assured, all I heard's clear
Lies—everything you say feels like you're always on
Gets caught in the doorway
Ten thousand words on the phone
Don't need to listen
Why can't they ever be?
'Cause everything's missing
Ten thousand words on the phone
Ten thousand words—when all you needed to show was
Ten thousand words
someone I used to know
Someone from ages ago
Feels like they're always alone
Ten thousand words on the phone
Why can't they ever be shown?
Why can't they ever—everything you say feels like they're always caught in the doorway
Ten thousand words on the phone
No need to listen
Why can't we ever be?
'Cause everything's missing
Ten thousand words on the phone
