Telephone - Shelby Lynne
I can't be here anymore
Just want it to be over over
Wanna walk where the clouds are big
An' covered in clover clouds of clover
I'm sorry I ever called
Should a never ever ever picked up the 'phone
Should a forgot your number
It's turned into a scary dream
I never want it back at all
I never really thought you would answer
Now it's a big blown up thing
I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang
When the telephone rang
I've looked in faces that just looked away
The eyes were dim and cloudy can't see a thing
The pain of livin' with the hand that's dealt
Is more than I can stand
Can you take it can you take it can you take it
I can't forget all the mistakes I made
It'd take a lifetime to erase them no I can't go back
An' even I would never change a thing
I can't waste any more time time's a wastin' time's a wastin'
I never really thought you would answer
Now it's a big blown up thing
I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang
When the telephone rang
I'm gettin' old an' my friends are few
We're crossin' that big mountain almost to the top almost to the top
The sky fills of with the stars and moon and rain
Pours like a fountain water fallin' down
Oh I could sit here in the midnight air
An' look at what this life takes from me an' what it gives to you
An' count the reasons why I can't stand myself
Just had to say these things anyway
I never really thought you would answer
Now it's a big blown up thing
I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang
When the telephone rang
The ring ring ring ring ring when the telephone rang
The ring ring ring ring ring when the telephone rang
Oh I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang
When the telephone rang
