Someone for You
There's a payphone eating small change
And there's a black sky spitting rain
I'm 20 miles south of sleeping
And I just wanna hear you breathing
Tell me baby can you hear me
Tell me baby can you hear me now
She's curvy like a backroad
Easy to put up on a pedestal
She's shiny like a piece of gold
Tell me honey, where'd you hide your halo
And tell me baby can you hear me
Tell me baby can you hear me now
She says she don't mind missing someone
She says postcards make her smile
Says she loves long distance phone calls
In the middle of the night
Says she loves just knowing someone
Somewhere's thinking about her too
And I say baby have I got the someone for you
I can almost taste her laudanum lips
She's scratched into the backside of my eyelids
I push her name off my tongue
And pray it finds her eardrums
Tell me baby can you hear me
Tell me baby can you hear me now
My heart starts racing
When I hear her on the other end
And I get a lump in my throat
When I hear her say hello
Tell me baby can you hear me
Tell me baby can you hear me now
