here I am...damn
talkin my ass off
on the phone all alone
wishin' i was talkin with you
but that's not true

here I am...damn
talkin to myself
thinking about you
wondering why I don't even try
to get by that last good bye

hello, hello are you there
or am i just standing here
talkin to myself?
have you ever tried to rhyme yourself
when you're all alone
talkin' on the telephone to yourself?

have you ever tried to write poetry
and the best you could do was write history that's long gone?
oh hell, i have nothin' to say, anyway
thought i'd just give you a call
that's all
