Called and left a message   When you get this I'll be out of range   It's impossible to reach you   Gonna get you on another day   Somewhere outside of reception   Comes another disconnection   Before I got to tell you everything that I was trying to say      If you were here    I'd whisper something secret in your ear   I'm telling my receiver   The things that I wish you were   Close enough to hear   Are you even out there?      I count the ringing on my fingers   It stopped and I got your machine   The tape is rolling, that recording   Never turns out like I mean   There's a million conversations   But I've lost all of my patience   Are you near enough to hear me   Is my signal growing weak?      When you're away   I think of all the things I want to say   I speak into the receiver   I leave my name and number   I say I'll be up late   But I'll call again on another day   Baby I'll get you another day   Oh pick up baby I've got lots to say   But I'll get you on another day   Call again on another day   Are you even out there?   Baby I'll get you on another day   Pick up baby I've got so much to say   But I'll get you on another day
