No
Please, just—
No, hold on, I'm—hold on
Alright, just back off, back up
No, [?] start
[?] seven days
[Verse 1]
Does this make sense to you?
'Cause it doesn't make sense to me
Does this have weight for you?
'Cause it doesn't have weight for me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I think my mind is far away
Sorta strange, this is
But I think I'll call you anyway
Call collect, 'cause baby, this is
[Chorus]
An over-the-ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain's all out of sorts
I can't hide it
And I'm staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn't cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
I can't hide it
An over-the-ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn't working anymore
[Verse 2]
I needed space from you

[Pre-Chorus]
But I think my mind is far away
Sorta strange, this is

Call collect, 'cause baby, this is
[Chorus]
An over-the-ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain's all out of sorts
I can't hide it
I'm staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn't cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
I can't hide it
An over-the-ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn't working anymore
[Bridge]
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
I'll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I'll break your heart through the phone, I
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
I'll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I'll break your heart through the phone, I
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
I'll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I'll break your heart through the phone
[Chorus]
With an over-the-ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain's all out of sorts
I'm staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn't cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
An over-the-ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn't working anymore
