a pleasant insecurity takes me when i spell out your name and forms the words of all the cheap love songs that seem to take my by the hand the night is sprinkled with a million stars a blanked for our dearest dreams that tickles your nose when it's dark and tells you to make my phone ring tonight i would give this song away to hear your voice and trade in all my memories for the chance to be your boy so why don't you call me just to say that you thought about me today and that you are feeling as insecure as i am now? what if you call me and i'm not home? will you wonder if i went away? i'll spend a lifetime by the phone... why won't you call me anyway? i'm falling in love, or in other words going insane why can't i stop dancing to the same song over again? i lip-synch to be the conversations we've only had inside my head and dress up for the possibility i might bump into you somewhere like lovers do in silent movies... the odds are torn down by romance! and if all dreams are born to crumble we resist the urge of making sense 'cause it took me so long to learn what love is about and although now i have to face these new-felt childish doubts i wish life would take us by the hand and make both of us understand that now, for the first time there is no reason to be scared will you become a part of my life or just go away when you please? are you here just to break my heart or spare me off my misery? i shake hands with my loneliness goodbye old friend you won't be missed i'm sure that this time you won't have a reason to come back what if you call me and i'm not home? will you wonder if i went away? i'll spend the whole day by the phone... why don't you make it ring today? 'cause i've waited my whole life for a girl like you to come my way to make me stop dancing to the same song over again
