If the telephone would stop ringing,  I could probably get some sleep  I miss the people I used to know  But I’ll find someone to meet    I know you didn’t want to leave,  But baby you’ve got to have some foresight  Your decisions are purely emotional  Your brain serves just to rationalize    And now I hear this ringing  filling the room from the phone  Begging me “Boy,  you don’t have to be alone”    I never took into account  Your hunger for discord  But now that we’ve thought this out  I can see why you were bored    I start to wonder now  if the phone has stopped  and if the repetition is  Just my brain starting to shut off    And now as I drift lightly  Off to sleep  My mind gets to thinking  What could now never be    I answered the phone, heard a sigh on the line  She said she was sure I wouldn’t pick up this time  She begged me not to interrupt, she had thought of this all day  She said the start was the mistake, said we should try another way    We’ll try another way
