She calls him early because she knows he'll be asleep She leaves a message after the beep She says she's better now but she's still incomplete She's trying hard to make her voice sound soft and sweet A couple hours pa** until he picks up the phone He wasn't ready for the shock he holds his breath now He plays the message twice and then the Dial tone reminds him that she's not around It's a lonely sound... He's got perspective, and she's got nothing left And he wonders why he can't go on He's singing: Could she, would she have been thinking of me all along? And if I asked her, would she tell me the truth? 'Cause it's a long way down when your Hopes are high as mountains And I am worried that I'm falling for you She's like an hourgla** that never got the sand She's hollow and transparent like an infant He's a lonely boy but he still loves his life He doesn't look to make a scene he looks to make right He's got perspective, and she's got nothing left
And he wonders why he can't go on He's singing: Could she, would she have been thinking of me all along? And if I asked her, would she tell me the truth? 'Cause it's a long way down when your Hopes are high as mountains And I am worried that I'm falling for you I'm holding out, I'm strong and I'm proud And there's a new heart I've got thinking on me It's time you face yourself, take a look at this girl And you'll see what I see Could she, would she have been thinking of me all along? And if I asked her, would she tell me the truth? 'Cause it's a long way down when your Hopes are high as mountains And I am worried that I'm falling for you Could she, would she have been thinking of me all along? And if I asked her, would she tell me the truth? 'Cause it's a long way down when your Hopes are high as mountains And I am worried that I'm falling for you It's a long way down when your hopes are high as mountains And I am worried that I'm falling for you
