Seventy Five Outgoing Calls

75 outgoing calls, each one of them to you
Sometimes, I wish I could turn off my mind
Detach my brain
And hand it to a stranger passing me by
But I had to learn the hard way
That friends like these come but once in a lifetime

75 outgoing calls, each one of them to you
Sometimes, I wonder if you're out there still
Waiting on me
These days I sit alone thinking only of you
I had to learn the hard way
That absence made your faint heart wander

Could it be in the crystal clarity
We've gone nowhere
But it comes the moment I find you?

Overshadow me
Take me from this place you found me in
This shooting star will burn out bright
Disappoint me
Do what you must do to get through me
The call is deeper than my fall

I ran to where the sidewalk ends
Then sent this transmission
Sometimes it seems as though you're tracking me
But I don't mind
The boy who's left here now thinking only of you
I see you driving southbound
The midwest sun eats you up in the distance

Could it be in the crystal clarity
We've gone nowhere
But it comes the moment I find you?

Overshadow me
Take me from this place you found me in
This shooting star will burn out bright
Disappoint me
Do what you must do, surprise me
The call is deeper than my fall

Song inside my mind
I have traveled far too long to find
You are not at home
But how does this end?
Song inside my mind
I have traveled far too long to find
If you're make-believe
Let's play pretend

Overshadow me
Take me from this place you found me in
This shooting star will burn out bright
(You know you're meant for better things)
Disappoint me
Do what you must do to get through me
The call is deeper than my fall, after all
