Telephone

[Verse 1]

About six hours on the interstate
It's not too far if it's not too late
Said it's alright, it will be okay
I'll be there when you need me, babe

'Cos I got more love than a heart can take
But you know me, I can't stay in one place
And all good things are soon to change
The sun will rise, and the moon will sing

[Chorus]

So you stayed up on the telephone
Singin' me songs so I wouldn't feel alone
You stayed up on the telephone
Giving me hope when I thought there was none

[Verse 2]

About six months and a week or so
Tried so hard just to stay afloat
The money's good when the season's right
But the rain falls heavy on those winter nights

I've been afraid, oh, no I can't lie
To navigate them changing tides
But it's six hours on the interstate
To where you are but I can't wait

[Chorus]

So you stayed up on the telephone
Singin' me songs so I wouldn't feel alone
You stayed up on the telephone
Giving me hope when I thought there was none

[Verse 3]

She turned sixteen 'bout a month ago
You should see her now just how much she's grown
But you wait for me way up in the sky
Where we can drink all day and dance all night

Like an old song or melody
Your words are something that I keep in me
But it's six hours on the interstate
I think I'll go maybe one day
