She calls him early because she knows he'll be asleep She leaves a message after the beep She says she's better now but she's still incomplete She's trying hard to make her voice sound soft and sweet A couple hours pass until he picks up the phone He wasn't ready for the shock he holds his breath now He plays the message twice and then the Dull tone reminds him that she's not around It's a lonely sound... He's got perspective, and she's got nothing left And he wonders why he can't go on He's singing: (Chorus) Would she, could she been thinking of me all along? And if faster, would she tell me the truth? 'Cause it's a long way down when your Hopes are high as mountains And I am worried that I'm falling for you She's like an hourglass that never got the sand She's hollow and transparent like an infant He's a lonely boy but he still loves his life He doesn't look to make a scene he looks to make right He's got perspective, and she's got nothing left And he wonders why he can't go on He's singing: [Chorus] Would she, could she been thinking of me all along? And if faster, would she tell me the truth? 'Cause it's a long way down when your Hopes are high as mountains And I am worried that I'm falling for you I'm holding out, I'm strong and I'm proud And there's a new heart I've got thinking on me It's time you face yourself, take a look at this girl And you'll see what I see Would she, could she been thinking of me all along? And if faster, would she tell me the truth? 'Cause it's a long way down when your Hopes are high as mountains And I am worried that I'm falling for you Would she, could she been thinking of me all along? And if faster, would she tell me the truth? 'Cause it's a long way down when your Hopes are high as mountains And I am worried that I'm falling for you 'Cause it's a long way down when your Hopes are high as mountains And I am worried that I'm falling for you
