Late Night Call

VERSE 1 It's 11:43. The house is finally quiet. your name's been sittin' in my phone Like a road I never drove. I tell myself I'm just checkin' in. Funny how a lie Can sound so harmless at midnight. PRE-CHORUS If you don't answer... Maybe that's enough. If you do... Maybe we weren't as over As I told myself we were. CHORUS One late-night call. One little chance. One "how've you been?" One second glance. Maybe we'd laugh. Maybe we'd fall. Maybe forever Ain't gone at all. That's what I told myself... Before I made That late-night call. VERSE 2 I shouldn't do this. I finally found my ground. I didn't come this far To turn back around. Maybe you're asleep. Maybe you've moved on. Maybe this'll only prove You've been wrong all along. Besides... What if you answer? What if you don't? Funny how your heart Can be scared Of both. VERSE 3 I practiced "Hey" About twenty different ways. Tried to sound like I hadn't missed you. Heart beatin' Harder than it oughta. Funny... How hope never really forgets. PRE-CHORUS One deep breath. One push Of a button. BRIDGE One ring... Two... Three... (another woman's voice) "Hello?" He's in the shower. Can I tell him who called?" (Pause) I looked at his name. Looked at my screen. And realized... The only thing Still waiting... Was me. FINAL CHORUS One late-night call. One goodbye. One little dream I kept alive. I wished you well... Without a word. Sometimes the truth really hurts. then gets quiet. I whispered... "Wrong number..." Even though... It wasn't. yeah.. even though.. it wasn't it wasn't......
