lyrics

I Called You Up

I called you up, four times or so
and now you’re free, but wait
the other line you have to go

It used to be, there on the stairs
you’d fix my hair, cause I was
younger then you had to care

‘Cause I am all grown and you’ve got your life
outside my own, and at 25
if I don’t hear from you for a while
I’ll find a way to unbind
‘cause I’m no longer a child,
I’ll see, you’re apart from me
and wait by the phone for a while

When I bring up, that guy at work
who keeps me down, your voice gets
high and light with few remarks

I look out of, this window glass
to dying grass, I wish you’d
comfort me, but I’ll let this pass

‘Cause I am all grown and you’ve got your life
outside my own, and at 25
if I don’t hear from you for a while
I’ll find a way to unbind
‘cause I’m no longer a child,
I’ll see, you’re apart from me
and wait by the phone for a while

‘Cause I am all grown and you’ve got your life
outside my own, and at 25
if I don’t hear from you for a while
I’ll find a way to unbind
