Answering Machine

Tired
and its raining
lonely
and so jaded
are you there?
The place you would be?
Are you happy?
Are you thinking of me?
Tired
the wind calls your name
lonely
and its all your fault
Are you there?
Can you answer me?
Are you smiling?
Are you thinking of me?

Broken hearted
I'm calling out to you
corrosive love
I've been the fool
desolation
and destitute
falling in love
I've fallen victim
fell for you

Are you home?
Can you hear me?
Will you pick me up?
Answer the machine
Tired
I can't take it anymore
accompanied by my broken heart
Are you there?
Are you alone?
won't you answer me?
Know that I love you
Answer the machine!
