Jimmy Buffett - If The Phone Doesn't Ring It's Me lyrics

If the phone doesn't ring it's me 1985 "the time spent writing about the intensity involved in trying to Keep love together is short; but the endless research can k** you." 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 If 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 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 goin' half mad days I try to let go but you're still on my mind I've lost all the old ways I'm searchin' for new plays Puttin' 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 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 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 It's me, it's me It's me, it's me It's me, it's me It's me, it's me If it takes all the future We'll live through the past If the phone doesn't ring It's me - notes: Background vocals: glenn frey, timothy b. schmit
