Phonecards and Postcards - Tokyo Rose

When you called

It was good to hear your voice

But harder to hear you laugh

I had to choke back tears when you said

You were okay with this

And it seemes that this experiment

Isin’t going quite the way I planned

And I’ll say

«It's not enough for me

To keep a tight grip on the phone

This line can give only so much slack

Before you’re hearing my dial tone.»

You and I agreed to give it time

And I thought that this was helping at first

But every minute away from you

Just pushed me further away

And it seemes that this experiment

Isin’t going quite the way I planned

And I’ll say

«It's not enough for me

To keep a tight grip on the phone

This line can give only so much slack

Before you’re hearing my dial tone.»

I know I promised the world to you

But now I’m halfway across the world

From you

It’s not enough for me

I’ve got to live for me yeah

For me, yeah
