SOMEWHERE IN YOUR BUILDING A PHONE
CUTS THE NIGHT
NO WAY OF KNOWING WHO'S ON THE LINE
YOU DON'T WAKE I WONDER HOW I GOT HERE
TRY TO REMEMBER WHERE
I WAS THIS TIME LAST YEAR
AND FOR MINUTES I LAY LISTENING
WONDERING WHAT NEWS ITS SONG'S HERALDING
IS THERE SOMETHING OF WORTH
I HAVE YET TO DISCOVER
THE RINGING CONTINUES COULD IT BE
YOUR LAST LOVER
THERE'S A VERSION OF THE FUTURE
HANGING CLOSE ABOVE MY HEAD
BUT I CAN'T GET TO IT
SEARCH AROUND THE ROOM TO
BUILD THE PIECES OF A LIFE
BUT I CAN'T MAKE THEM FIT
THE DARKNESS LIFTS AND I THINK OF THE DOOR
I THINK I LIKE YOU BUT I'M NEVER THAT SURE
ONE DAY WILL YOU CALL ME WHEN I'M HALF ASLEEP
DIALING A NUMBER THAT'S INCOMPLETE
THERE'S A VERSION OF THE FUTURE
HANGING CLOSE ABOVE MY HEAD
BUT I CAN'T GET TO IT
SEARCH AROUND THE ROOM
TO BUILD THE PIECES OF A LIFE
BUT I CAN'T MAKE THEM FIT
IN THE DARK I FEEL ALONE
'TILL THE SUN COMES UP IT’S POLITE TO GO HOME
IF I BACK OUT OF THIS TOO SOON
WILL I BE LEFT HOLDING TORCHES FOR YOU
WE MIGHT NOT KNOW EACH OTHER IN A WEEK
BECOME WEIRD NUMBERS WE DIAL IN OUR SLEEP
LISTENING TO EMPTY DIAL TONES
LEFT WITH SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ALONE
THERE'S A VERSION OF THE FUTURE
HANGING CLOSE ABOVE MY HEAD
BUT I CAN'T GET TO IT
SEARCH AROUND THE ROOM
TO BUILD THE PIECES OF A LIFE
BUT I CAN'T MAKE THEM FIT
IN THE DARK I FEEL ALONE
'TILL THE SUN COMES UP IT’S POLITE TO GO HOME
IF I BACK OUT OF THIS TOO SOON
WILL I BE LEFT HOLDING TORCHES FOR YOU
