Phonecards and Postcards

When you called
It was good to hear your voice
But harder to hear you laugh
I had to choke back tears when you said
You were okay with this
And it seemes that this experiment
Isin’t going quite the way I planned
And I’ll say
«It's not enough for me
To keep a tight grip on the phone
This line can give only so much slack
Before you’re hearing my dial tone.»
You and I agreed to give it time
And I thought that this was helping at first
But every minute away from you
Just pushed me further away
And it seemes that this experiment
Isin’t going quite the way I planned
And I’ll say
«It's not enough for me
To keep a tight grip on the phone
This line can give only so much slack
Before you’re hearing my dial tone.»
I know I promised the world to you
But now I’m halfway across the world
From you
It’s not enough for me
I’ve got to live for me yeah
For me, yeah
