[Verse 1]
My life is one of movement
I been traveling as fast as I can
And I've inherited trial and error directly from my old man
But I'm committed to the consequences
Whether I stand or fall
[Refrain]
And when I get back to my life
I think I'm gonna give her a call
I think I'm gonna give her a call
[Verse 2]
She's been waiting patiently
For me to put my trip together
And it touches something deep inside
When she said she'd wait forever
Because forever's right up on me now
That is, if it ever comes at all
[Refrain]
And when I get back to my life
I think I'm gonna give her a call
I think I'm gonna give her a call
[Bridge]
She didn't know, she could hardly believe
How much she means to me
No, she wouldn't know, she could scarcely understand
Why I cling so desperately to dreams
But she's calmed me in the evening
She's calmed me in the night
Calmed my fear of dreaming
And maybe my fear of life
[Verse 3]
My life's been one of running away
Just as fast as I can
But I've been no more successful at getting away
Than was my old man
But if you come to recognize the truth
And understand that the truth is really all
[Refrain]
Then when I get back to my life
I think I'm gonna give her a call
I think I'm gonna give her a call
[Outro]
Yes, when I get back to my life
I think I'm gonna give her a call
Say, say, when I get back to my life
I get back to my life
I think I'll call
Yeah, yeah, get back to my life
I get back to my life
I think I'll call
Yeah, yeah, say, get back to my life
Get back to my life
Say, get back to my life
Say, get back to my life
If I ever really get back to my life
Get back to my life
I think I'll call
Say, say, say
Get back to my life
Get back to my life
