Only if I could read your ink
It would calm my fears
Or make me run and hide

One minute would let me know
If this is all for nothing
Or maybe the beginning

I can't tell if I like this
So I wait for something more
Maybe us

To my mistake I keep pursuing you
To my dismay I stay on this side with you
Just a little longer now

I've gone through bundles of wire
Tied and tangled up for the night

Is it long-lasting comfort that I need?
Because I might be just falling for an idea that's not real

And every time I dial your number
Just to say hello
I wonder what your face looks like
On the flipside of the phone
