Verse 1

Let me tell you last night

It’s the closest I’ve ever got to you

So close I could’ve touched ya

And for a split second i believe that we’re in heaven

Then i’m pulled away back into the dark

I gotta pain in my throat & salt water in my eyes

3am in the early mornin and i’m wonderin if you

Were ever really here at all

Chorus

Oh telephone line

I called you up in my dreams

And after all this time

You finally answered my plea

But when I ask you to be mine

You shatter my soul with just one word

I’m falling down as I come around

Verse 2

I heard you tell me last night

Why i’m never gonna get to be with you

Why I’m never gonna touch ya

Is it all just a hoax is my love for you just a joke?

I’m tryna speak but my heart

Yeah my heart just lost its voice

It’s just a silent scream in the early mornin

Wakin up to the bitter-blue aftertaste of you

Chorus

Oh telephone line

I called you up in my dreams

And after all this time

You finally answered my plea

But when I ask you to be mine

You shatter my soul with just one word

I’m falling down as I come around

Verse 3/Outro

I ask you why you tell me

Why you’re never gonna be mine

We’re warped in time

And my heart stops beatin when you say

That you just don’t feel the same way

The way that I feel about you……

You say it’s all about desire

About Ice cream & Fire

Then you hang up the phone

And you leave me all alone…….

Hot to trot like Ice cream & Fire

And we’re frozen in the night

And you leave my heart to die

You leave me alone with desire

And with nowhere left to go-o-o-o-o-o-o

I go back into my dreams

I go back to that place

To try to find you a-g-a-a-a-a-in
