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
