Take My Call

[Verse 1]
It's obvious I never had a map
Just a drawing on the back of a placemat
From a late-night restaurant, in coffee and crayon
I scribbled out my childish plans of attack
I swear I never meant to get so lost
Or drag you through this rotten, twisted plot
In which all my best intentions, too predictable to mention
Misfired and steered us straight onto the rocks

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it's easier to say that it was just one big mistake
Not the gestalt of many small ones, all my fault, and I can call them all by name
And the highest hope for tragedy is a lesson and a song
So I dismantled carefully the ways that I did you wrong

[Chorus]
If you ever decide to take my call
I would gladly surrender it all

[Verse 2]
My sleeping mind pulls out a dream that I waylaid
To see the floats the day after the Rose Parade
Smell the flowers, share a coffee, as we walk, alarm goes off
And I awake alone in the bed I've made

[Pre-Chorus]
Because it's easier to say that it was just one big mistake
Not the gestalt of many small ones, all my fault, and I can call them all by name
And the highest hope for tragedy is a lesson and a song
So I dismantled carefully the ways that I did you wrong

[Chorus]
If you ever decide to take my call
I would gladly surrender it all

[Bridge]
Leave a little piece of me (Leave a little piece)
Outside beneath the loquat trees (In your backyard)
Where I can stay, and grow, and love you
(And love you)

[Chorus]
If you ever decide to take my call
I would gladly surrender it all
If you ever decide to take my call
I would gladly surrender it all
If you ever decide to take my call
