We are living in different time zones Whispering into the phone, we're not alone, I swear Starting out I had high hopes Sometimes it feels so close Other times it's almost like you aren't even there I think of what you told me Promises we couldn't keep Always is a very strong word We keep on calling but we're never around So I'm left lonely in love Can't help but feeling like there's something this falls short of If only these walls could just come down It's all good and well till the dial tone Comes back and we're all alone Nothing's set in stone in this abyss Is it better left alone? Sticks and stones may break my bones But nothing holds a candle to this I think of what you told me Promises we couldn't keep Always is a very strong word We keep on calling but we're never around So I'm left lonely in love Can't help but feeling like there's something this falls short of If only these walls could just come down This isn't how it's always been It all feels good when it begins Then everything starts to spin Soon enough the silence wins Now it feels like pins and needles piercing through my skin Let something sit and don't use it For long enough, it starts to sting Telling promises we couldn't keep Always is a very strong word We keep on calling but we're never around So I'm left lonely in love Can't help but feeling like there's something this falls short of If only these walls could just come down But we are living in different time zones And when we hang up our phones We're all alone again
