[verse 1
I'd place a rose at your doorstep,
If it would lead you here to me.
I'd tell you the stars shine for you,
If through your eyes that's what you'd see.
I tell you the world spins for you,
'Cause where I am that's only true.
Each piece of my heart is for you,
To you they're just words from this empty room.
[pre-chorus
The telephone, I called you please just call me back
Left alone, I wish I meant some more to you than that
[chorus
If you think back to what I said
If you think back to what you know
(I hope for our sakes you don't one day, it would break my heart to wish you'd stayed)
I just hope you really thought this through
God damn my soul if I wait for you
(But I've got no other place to go, I'll wait forever and I hope you know)
What a fool the heart can be
[verse 2
I'd love to just turn my back on you
Have my mind say goodbye for good.
But that'll happen when the oceans burn
And as your image burns in me, it should.
I'd tell you that I'd build you castles
Even if it takes three thousand years.
I could love you through the good times
And build to heal your falling tears.
[pre-chorus
The telephone, I called you please just call me back
Left alone, I wish I meant some more to you than that
[chorus
If you think back to what I said
If you think back to what you know
(I hope for our sakes you don't one day, it would break my heart to wish you'd stayed)
I just hope you really thought this through
God damn my soul if I wait for you
(But I've got no other place to go, I'll wait forever and I hope you know)
What a fool the heart can be

[pre-chorus
The telephone, I called you please just call me back
Left alone, I wish I meant some more to you than that
[chorus
If you think back to what I said
If you think back to what you know
(I hope for our sakes you don't one day, it would break my heart to wish you'd stayed)
I just hope you really thought this through
God damn my soul if I wait for you
(But I've got no other place to go, I'll wait forever and I hope you know)
What a fool the heart can be
