Got home from work, sat down, put on the TV You called me up and I didn't know what to say It's been some time since we hung at the record store So much has changed since then, I've been through this before I know I said I'd call you back But time and energy is what I lack Got home from work and just sat back It slipped my mind, I meant to call you back I said I'd call you back later on that day You said you were in town only for a day I really meant to call, but life got in the way Please forgive me for the call I didn't make I know I said I'd call you back But time and energy is what I lack Got home from work and just sat back It slipped my mind, I meant to call you back I said I'd call you back later on that day You said you were in town only for a day I really meant to call, but life got in the way Please forgive me for the call I didn't make "I'll stay in touch" it's what I meant to do Why would I say it if I knew it wasn't true? I really meant to call, but life got in the way I really meant to call, but didn't know what to say
