Hesitation keeps your words on the tip of your tongue Too careful with what you say and you're coming off dumb And there's nothing left to be said on the telephone Makes me wonder how I stuck around so long Anticipation keeps you on the edge of your seat But you're just too distracted to look up the people you meet What was it I said that was so wrong? Now I realize it was a lie all along On the other line A whole other life But these dependencies I just cannot deny Who's that on the phone? It was you on the line Sayin' it was my fault But these things happen with time On the other line A whole other life But these dependencies I just cannot deny On the other line A whole other life But these dependencies I just cannot deny
