Get Back To Me
Yeah these feelings are trying
To eat me alive
Yeah my tears are threatening
To put out the flame of the fire I worked for
To brighten my life
The light is fading and
That silver lining is growing even
Greyer duller ever day
Do you even understand
What it is
To have to stand and silently watch your heart walk away
Do you even understand
How it feels
To be ashamed of missing somebody so badly that you’re
Reduced to calling them on the phone
When they’re not home
Just to hear their voice on the machine
Promising that they will get back to you
ASAP
Baby when did you plan on getting
Back to me
Three sharp raps
At my door
Lead me to your
Hesitant face
The apology in your crippled gaze
Makes me forget the name
Of my date
But only for a moment
We met on a plane
Just a month ago
When I was flying back here from my parent’s place
Where I buried all my former dreams
For you and me
Now when I dream those fantasies
Are for I and he
And you don’t even need to say the words
I can tell that finally
You do understand
What it is
To have to stand and silently watch your heart walk away
You do understand
How it feels
To be ashamed of missing somebody so badly that you’re
Reduced to calling them on the phone
When they’re not home
Just to hear their voice on the machine
Promising that they will get back to you
ASAP
But baby you waited much too long to get
Back to me
