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.
[chorus]
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.
[chorus]
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.
