Sitting by myself at home
Waiting for a ring
I fight the urge to pick it up
So I can do my thing

I try to stay connected
To the lives of everyone
Tonight, I'm calling you
'Cause I got nothing better to do

I feel so alone
And I can't get off the phone
I hope you're not at home
'Cause I can't get off the phone

I know it's my obsession
But I see you got nothing better to do
I call because hearing is believing
And the only time I can't hear it ringing
Is when I'm singing

The phone is an extension
To my arm and mind
I talk, talk, talk to dusk, to dawn
'Cause all I got is time
