lyrics

I crunched gravel roads
inside a square
I played on a stage for dolls
with shining hair
You sang to me
while the sky burned out
and held us
down

Falling into blood warm air
It's hard to breathe
You were decorating the walls
while they closed in on me
I could see
fixed in your eye
how it would be

Are you receiving me?

If you stay here I'll say goodbye
I wish you'd call me up sometime
On my tin can telephone
Tin can telephone

I'll give you my footprints
Pressed flowers on the road
An invisible thread, that I tied
To my tin can telephone
And when we talk
all I will hear
is space in between

Are you receiving me?

If you stay here I'll say goodbye
I wish you'd call me up sometime
If you stay here I'll say goodbye
I wish you'd call me up sometime
On my tin can telephone
Tin can telephone
Tin can telephone
Tin can telephone

You're taking your time
Knitting your habits
into a home
a place to hide
How could you not know
that I would leave
Turn into the trees

I'll give you my footprints
Pressed flowers on the road
An invisible thread, that I tied
to my tin can telephone
And when we talk
all I will hear
is space in between

I wish you'd call me
Tin can telephone
Tin can telephone
Tin can telephone
Tin can telephone
