if the phone doesn't ring it's me

there are oceans of feelings between us

currents that take us and sweep us away

that's why we seldom have seen us

in the light of a cold hard day

lots of new friends with the same old answers

open your eyes

you might see

of our lives were that simple

we'd live in the past

if the phone doesn't ring

it's me

if the phone doesn't ring

you'll know that it's me

i'll be out in the eye of the storm

if the phone doesn't ring

you'll know that i'll be

where someone can make me feel warm

it's too bad we can't turn

and live in the past

if the phone doesn't ring

it's me

i've had good days and bad days

and going half mad days

i try to let go but you're still on my mind

i've lost all the old ways

i'm searching for new plays

putting it all on the line

lots of new friends with the same old problems

open your eyes

you might see

if our lives were that simple

we'd live in the past

if the phone doesn't ring

it's me

if it takes all the future

we'll live through the past

if the phone doesn't ring

it's me
