Toby Lightman - Operator lyrics

Operator, well could you help me place this call? See the number on the matchbook is old and faded He's living in L.A. with my ex best friend they say A girl he said he knew well and sometimes hated Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels Operator, well could you help me place this call? Well, I can't read the number that you just gave me There's something in my eyes, you know it happens everytime I think about a love that I thought would save me Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels No, no, that's not the way it feels Operator, well let's forget about this call There's no one there I really wanted to talk to Thank you for your time, oh you've been so much more than kind And you can keep the dime Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real, I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels No, no, no, that's not the way it feels
