Verse 1

There are oceans of feelings between us,
currents that take us and sweep us away.
That's why we seldom have seen us,
in the light of a cold hard day.

Pre-chorus

Lots of new friends, with the same old answers,
open your eyes you might see, 
if our lives were that simple we'd live in the past,
if the phone doesn't ring, it's me.

Chorus

If the phone doesn't ring, you'll know that it's me,
I'll be out in the eye of the storm,
if the phone doesn't ring, you know that I'll be,
where someone can make me feel warm.
It's too bad we can't turn and live in the past, 
if the phone doesn't ring, it's me.

Verse 2

I've had good days and bad days and going half-mad days,
I try to let go, but you're still on my mind.
I've lost all the old ways, I'm searching for new plays,
Putting it all on the line.

Pre-chorus

Lots of new friends, with the same old problems,
open your eyes you might see, 
if our lives were that simple we'd live in the past,
if the phone doesn't ring, it's me.

Chorus

If the phone doesn't ring, you'll know that it's me,
I'll be out in the eye of the storm,
if the phone doesn't ring, you know that I'll be,
where someone can make me feel warm.
It's too bad we can't turn and live in the past,
if the phone doesn't ring, it's me.

Coda

If it takes all the future we'll live through the past,
if the phone doesn't ring, it's me.
