Phonecards and postcards Lyrics

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.
