Intro
Verse
She calls him early cos she knows he'll be asleep
She leaves a message after the beep
She says she's better now, but she's still incomplete
She's trying hard to make her voice sound soft and sweet
A couple of hours pass 'til he picks up the phone
He wasn't ready for the shock he holds his breath now
He plays the message twice and then the dull tone
Reminds him that she's not around it's a lonely sound
Bridge
He has got perspective and she's got nothing left
and he wonders why he can't go on
Hes singing
Chorus
Would she, could she've been thinking of me all along?
And if i asked her would she tell me the truth?
Cos it's a long way down when your hopes are high as mountains
and i am worried that I'm falling for you
She's like an hourglass that never got the sand
She's hollow and transparent like an infant
He is a lonely boy but he still loves his life
He doesn't look to make a scene he looks to make right
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus
I'm holding out, I'm strong and I'm proud
And there's a new heart I've got thinking on me
It's time you face yourself, take a look at this girl
And you will see what I see
Repeat Chorus
