She keeps on calling me
I keep hanging up
It's not that I don't want to talk
I just fear listening

As a child it worried me
That all the ones I loved would one day die
I still recall when I realized
I couldn't save them no matter how i tried

I couldn't wait to be a man
The grown-ups seemed to handle life just fine
But here I am
Still terrified
See, growing up will just teach you how to smile

I followed you from the sun in my childhood
I followed you through the river to the sea
I followed you where the waves turn to wasteland
I followed you
Now they follow me

As a child I felt too old
And now when I'm grown-up I feel too young
A different kind so I've been told
Just slightly out of reach and out of time

I count the years to understand
The faces of the friends I used to know
I close my eyes and they're still the same
How to mourn the living
That are still around
Yet somehow gone

I followed you from the sun in my childhood
I followed you through the river to the sea
I followed you where the waves turn to wasteland
I followed you
Now they follow me

I'm on my way now

I'm mostly doing fine
They rarely see me cry
But you are always on my mind
I'll live another night, I'll walk another mile
But you are always on my mind

I'm mostly doing fine
They rarely see me cry
But you are always on my mind
I'll live another night, I'll walk another mile
Still you are always on my mind

She keeps on calling me
She keeps on calling, calling, calling, calling, calling

I'm on my way now

She keeps on calling me
I'm on my way now
She keeps on calling, calling, calling, calling

I keep hanging up
