Lyrics

Sitting by the phone
By the telephone
Waiting for life to call me
Little ring ring
Little something to tell me
I’m not all alone
Sitting by life
On the sidelines
Waiting for chance to call me
My big chance
My one dance
Is anyone home
Given the choice between life and death
I’d give the choice to someone else

So I met a man walking down the street
Late one night
He said to me
Breathe once breathe twice
Breathe son for the sake of life
Son breathe
Well I’m not sure what this is for
I need to give myself a reasonable chance
For a good life
For a good time
But I’m scared to death
That I’ll be left behind

Contemplating life
I’m left with the feeling
That somebody else holds the key
Dealing with my strife
I’m left with the feeling
That all of my glory is meant
For someone more glorious than me
If I am left to live alone
What the hell am I to call my own

And I remember that summer night
When the air was just right
And music filled the air
Something about the way that you’d stare
From between your hair made me melt
Right into thin air
In all of my days I’ll never forget
The way that it felt to hold you near
