Call me when you think the coast is clear

I've been hiding out almost a year

Is there something wrong?

What's taking you so long?

And yeah, I know it's not easy



You said if I waited it'd pay off

But my eyes are growing wild and my body's gone soft

Is there something wrong?

What's taking you so long?

And yeah, I know it's not easy



You said I should let go of your hand

But I don't even know if I can

You're the only one

You are the very sun to me

And you know it's not easy



You'd tell me, wouldn't you, if we needed to talk?

I look at the cars and I know you insure them

I look at the books and things people are reading

I know that you've written them, too

You've got so many little things to do

But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten

The promise you made to me

I think that's rotten

I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore

Coming through that can show me around

'Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd

Looking for something from you

Just one fucking measly clue

Any shitty little tip-off would do

But I'm just an ant in Alaska to you



Then I look at the stars and I know you're under them

I look at the cars and I know you insure them

I look at the books and the things people are reading

I know that you've written them, too

You've got so many little things to do

But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten
