Cancel Everything

Devastate me
No don't take me
Don't take me the wrong way it wasn't what I meant

Long wires between us
Oceans screen us
From understanding everything we wanna say

Tell me softly over and over again
You can't speak too clearly I understand
I really do

Say things to me (say things)
Do things to me (come on, do things)
We don't make much sense on the long distance phone

Encourage me with words
Feed me to the birds
That sit along and listen in on this telephone wire

Tell me softly over and over again
You can't speak too clearly I understand

Cancel everything.. for a while
This ain't the way things...are supposed to be
I wanna be with you
Shoe shine boy
Are you gonna be my friend?
Seems like I've run into you again

This old hotel room's too familiar for me
I can't take it any more
It's the last place on earth I choose to be
You don't have to worry with me
If I wanted you to go
I'd lose you on my own free will
Yes I need you

Reassure me over and over again
You can't speak too clearly I understand
I really do

Cancel everything
