We're on this roller coaster ride Hold on, I'll stay here by your side We head up to the sky then we slide back down Upside down try to figure out Not sure if we could work it out I want to be alone but you feel like home Answer the phone I know that you're home I want to get you alone And do it again, do it again Answer the phone I know that you're home I want to get you alone And do it again, do it again The signals all are flashing red It doesn't matter what was said This bed is much too big without me and you This all seems so ridiculous Why can't we just get over this Don't make me say the obvious Without you Answer the phone I know that you're home I want to get you alone And do it again, do it again Answer the phone I know that you're home I want to get you alone And do it again, do it again I practice all my lies to a telephone while you were sleeping I practice all my lies to a telephone while you Were sleeping I practice all my lies to a telephone while you were sleeping I remember the way you curled your toes On the side of the stage at all our shows And the glow on your face just because of one rose And when I wake up in the morning And you're wearing my clothes Answer the phone I know that you're home I want to get you alone And do it again, do it again Answer the phone I know that you're home I want to get you alone And do it again, do it again Do it again, do it again And do it again, do it again I want to do it again do it again And do it again, do it again
