| Some people, they love you so great
|
| It spans the countryside
|
| And some people, they love you so pure
|
| It nearly dies
|
| Well, some people’s love is so new
|
| They just can’t keep it inside
|
| Some people get married and
|
| Their friends and ex-lovers all cry
|
| But we don’t have that
|
| So I put on my coat and my hat
|
| And I tell you «I'm sorry.»
|
| You say «that's ok — no one’s to blame.»
|
| You’re a sweet little girl
|
| On an airplane
|
| And I know
|
| You’ll come home
|
| Or you’ll tell me some shit on the phone
|
| On the phone (phone)
|
| On the phone (phone)
|
| On the phone
|
| Well my roommate, he bought a coffee press
|
| And that nearly drove me to tears
|
| See, it’s the first thing she’d touch
|
| In the mornings of those private school years
|
| Now brains, though built for thinking
|
| Are very good at worries and fears
|
| But what would I know?
|
| I’m only a volunteer
|
| But you don’t know that
|
| So I put on my coat and my hat
|
| And I tell you «I'm sorry.»
|
| You say «that's ok — no one’s to blame
|
| You’re a sweet little boy on an airplane.»
|
| And I know you’ll come home
|
| Or you’ll tell me some shit on the phone
|
| On the phone (phone)
|
| On the phone (phone)
|
| On the phone (phone)
|

| Lord lift me up over all gentlemen
|
| 'Cause we will never know if it’s right or it’s wrong
|
| And lord lift me up over all gentlemen
|
| 'Cause we will never know if it’s right or it’s wrong
|
| Yeah, when I come home
|
| Yeah, when I come home |
