Phonecall

Phone broke the silence of the night

I'd been sleeping

And a voice said, "How you doing Dan

Thought I'd call you for no reason"



And my mind flashed back two years

Since the last time I'd see her

When the love we'd shared had died



And she said, "Things are going well for you

I'm glad you still have music

I remember times you felt so damned confused

I thought you'd lose it?



?Do you still make crazy faces

At the mirror in the morning

How come you never said goodbye"



I chose my words so carefully

But I felt my past seducing me

"Slow down", she said

"I just want to be your friend"



I said, "That's the way the whole thing started

And I just can't fall in love with you again

Knowing it'll end"



And all I heard was silence

And I wished she was beside me

Like the first time we made love

And I felt waterfalls inside me



So I tried to dial her number

But my fingers froze

And slowly I closed my eyes



I chose my words so carefully

But I felt my past seducing me

"Slow down", she said

"I just want to be your friend"



I said, "That's the way the whole thing started

And I just can't fall in love with you again

Knowing it'll end"
