[Verse 1]
I feel close
Well, maybe I'm not, heaven knows
It's a spotlight stuck on the ceiling
Why are these the things that I'm feeling?
There's so much time
For me to speak up, but I keep quiet
I'll complicate the most of the mantra
The power's out and I can't turn the fan on
[Chorus]
So can I call you tonight?
I'm trying to make up my mind
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real?
I hear your voice on the phone
Now I'm no longer alone
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real anymore?
'Cause I wouldn't know
[Verse 2]
Voice so low
Sneaking around, so it goes
I always try my best to listen
Picking up things that I can fidget
Circle speed
Pacing around, watching my feet
Batteries drain, I get the memo
"I think that I might have to let you go"
[Chorus]
So can I call you tonight?
I'm trying to make up my mind
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real?
I hear your voice on the phone
Now I'm no longer alone
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real anymore?
'Cause I wouldn't know
[Bridge]

Don't go, don't go so easy
Don't go, don't go and leave me
Don't go, don't go so easy
Don't go, don't go and leave me
Don't go, don't go so easy
Don't go, don't go and leave me
Don't go, don't go so easy
Don't go, go
[Chorus]
So can I call you tonight?
I'm trying to make up my mind
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real?
I hear your voice on the phone
Now I'm no longer alone
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real anymore?

I had written the instrumental for the song all the way through six months prior to actually recording and writing the lyrics. And I knew I liked the melody … I just didn’t have anything to write about. So, the day I wrote the lyrics, I had just gotten off a phone call with a friend and wrote about...
