Telephone Lyrics - Identity Crisis - Shelby Lynne

I can't be here anymore, 

Just want it to be over. (Over.) 

Wanna walk where the clouds are big, 

An' covered in clover (Clouds of clover.) 

I'm sorry I ever called. 

Shoulda never, ever, ever picked up the 'phone. (Shoulda forgot your number.) 

It's turned into a scary dream. 

I never want it back at all. 

I never really thought you would answer. 

Now it's a big blown up thing. 

I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang. 

When the telephone rang. 

I've looked in faces that just looked away. 

The eyes were dim and cloudy. (Can't see a thing.) 

The pain of livin' with the hand that's dealt, 

Is more than I can stand. (Can you take it? Can you take it? Can you take it?) 

I can't forget all the mistakes I made, 

It'd take a lifetime to erase them. (No, I can't go back.) 

An' even I would never change a thing, 

I can't waste any more time. (Time's a wastin', time's a wastin'.) 

I never really thought you would answer. 

Now it's a big blown up thing. 

I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang. 

When the telephone rang. 

Instrumental break. 

I'm gettin' old an' my friends are few; 

We're crossin' that big mountain. (Almost to the top, almost to the top.) 

The sky fills of with the stars and moon and rain, 

Pours like a fountain. (Water fallin' down.) 

Oh, I could sit here in the midnight air, 

An' look at what this life takes from me. (An' what it gives to you.) 

An' count the reasons why I can't stand myself. 

Just had to say these things anyway. 

I never really thought you would answer. 

Now it's a big blown up thing. 

I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang.-acap
