I Love You Through The Telephone

When the leaves have changed They’re always prettier before they — go away Lord forgive me for my — yesterday She was my one and only, my — best mistake

So I guess I’ll be leaving (oooh oooh oooh) Like the change of the season (oooh oooh oooh) Ya didn’t give me a reason (oooh oh oh) So I guess that I’ll be leaving

I didn’t see you coming All of my life I’ve been l-lost and running Just thinking ‘bout myself (oooh oooh oooh) Just thinking ‘bout myself (oooh oooh oooh)

So I guess I’ll be leaving (oooh oooh oooh) Like the change of the season (oooh oooh oooh) Ya didn’t give me a reason (oooh oh oh) So I guess that I’ll be leaving

You said I’m the only one This love, love has come and gone I’ve got, got to move along, long, long, long You said I’m the only one But this love, love has come and gone I’ve got, got to move along, long, long, long

Someday selfish is gonna get old One day this road’s gonna take its toll Chasing dreams, waking up alone Just spinning ‘round in this ver-ti-go

Banging guitars and strangers in dive bars Hymns about leaving and losing religion Neons and roll your owns, I love you through the telephone Baby when ya coming home, it’s all I’ve ever known

Someday selfish is gonna get old One day this road is gonna take its toll Chasing dreams, waking up alone Just spinning 'round in this ver-ti-go Someday selfish is gonna get old

Oh, it’s gonna get old

Music city to the city of angels Highways and by-ways and fly days get tangled Out of sight and out of mind, burn a dollar make a dime Find a lover for the night, it’s all I’ve ever known

Someday selfish is gonna get old One day this fire’s gonna burn out cold Is it worth it, well I don’t know Will you be there when I get home? Someday selfish is gonna get old

It’s gonna get old

It’s just me, myself And I can’t help Running down this same old road It’s. All. I’ve. Ever. Known.

Instead of talkin’ bout a thing that’s gone  Let’s just lie awake  and lose ourselves in this song while these memories fade away  ‘Cause talking about it wouldn’t do us no good  Yeah we both know it, yeah it’s understood  Let’s just pretend that love lived on for one more day

You said, I’m done, I’m getting tired of this lonely love  And this bed, it’s undone, and all that’s left is an empty touch

Mad love Yeah the pain never felt so good  Bad love  If I could change than you know I would  Here’s to one more last goodbye  The best things, they were born to die  And it’s just sad love

Well, I remember that look in your eyes when you used to say  It’d be me and you, baby, forever, guess it went away  And crying about it wouldn’t do us no good  We never fit quite the way we should  [Sometimes maybe when we're making love it's all the same]

And we said, we’re done, so many times that we grew numb  And it’s dead, and gone, I guess it’s time we both move on

Mad love Yeah the pain never felt so good  Bad love  If I could change than you know I would  Here’s to one more last goodbye  The best things, they were born to die  And it’s just sad love

And no sense in talkin’ bout a thing that’s gone  It’s just gone away

Mad love Yeah the pain never felt so good  Bad love  If I could change than you know I would  Here’s to one more last goodbye  The best things, they were born to die

You’re hallelujah with a little bit of hell yeah An’ I hear you’re touble but I think I kinda like that Everybody’s like watch out, watch out, get out while you can And I’m like, I’m like, I don’t give a damn If you take my heart, drag it through the dirt Show me what you got, I want your kinda hurt

Go on and break somethin’, break somethin’ You know that I can take somethin’, take somethin’ Oh, I wanna play with fire, no I ain’t afraid to burn up I wanna know the way it feels when you’re getting turned up Break somethin’, break somethin’ Oh, break somethin’, break somethin’, yeah

Well I can see us knocking pictures off the wall now Smashing, crashing as we’re twisting down the hall now Your smokey eyes so dangerous I wanna see you mess me up

Go on and break somethin’, break somethin’ You know thatI can take somethin’, take somethin’ Oh, I wanna play with fire, no I ain’t afraid to burn up I wanna know the way it feels when you’re getting turned up Break somethin’, break somethin’ Oh, break somethin’, break somethin’, yeah

Whoa oh, whoa oh, oh oh oh Whoa oh, whoa oh, oh oh oh Everybody’s like watch out, watch out, get out while you can And I’m like, I’m like, I don’t give a damn

Go on and break somethin’, break somethin’ You know that I can take somethin’, take somethin’ Oh, I wanna play with fire, no I ain’t afraid to burn up I wanna know the way it feels when you’re getting turned up Break somethin’, break somethin’ Oh, break somethin’, break somethin’, yeah

I know you’ve been California dreaming I’ve been misisng your Tennessee smile We’ve been talking every other weekend I ain’t even seen you in awhile Well, I hear that the city’s full of angels But all I see are devils in disguise I know this is where the dreams are made But you’re the one I’m dreaming of tonight

I’ve been sittin’ here drinkin’ ‘Bout you been thinkin’ I’m givin’ up givin’ it time

Well they can say what they wanna say Call me crazy, can’t go on this way All this space between us got me torn in two Baby, I can’t keep on missing you

We’re running out of time, it’s make or break it ‘Cause I can’t take another sleepless night Been too many lonely miles between us Still ain’t even seen you in awhile

I’ve been sittin’ here drinkin’ ‘Bout you been thinkin’ I’m givin’ up givin’ it time

Well they can say what they wanna say Call me crazy, can’t go on this way All this space between us got me torn in two It’s 10 past 3 and I’m missing you I roam these streets like a drunken fool All this space between us tearing us in two Baby, I can’t keep on missing you

Are we too far gone? Can we still be strong? How do we make it back to where we were before?

They can say what they wanna say Call me crazy, can’t go on this way All this space between us got me torn in two They can say what they wanna say Call me crazy, can’t go on this way All this space between us got me torn in two It’s 10 past 3 and I’m missing you I roam these streets like a drunken fool All this space between us tearing us in two

No, I didn’t see it coming Till I started running From the benefit of a doubt Yeah, you gave me a warning And by the next morning I took the easy way out

It’s been 4 months and 13 days But it feels longer Thought your memory would just fade away But it got stronger

And I can’t stop thinking about you I’m on fire No, I can’t stop thinking about you I’m on fire Any other day, I’d be okay But tonight I’m drinking alone And I can’t stop thinking about you Can I come home?

Didn’t realize, It took me by surprise I may never see you again And it didn’t take me long To know that I was wrong I never let you in

It’s been 4 months and 13 days But it feels longer Thought your memory would just fade away But it got stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger

And I can’t stop thinking about you I’m on fire No, I can’t stop thinking about you I’m on fire Any other day, I’d be okay But tonight I’m drinking alone And I can’t stop thinking about you Can I come home?

Any other day, I’d be okay Any other day, I’d be okay Yeah
