Sorry to call you

In the middle of the night

But my thoughts have kept me thinking about

Some things in my life

I got your number

From a friend who told me

That it'd be alright to call you

If I ever need

Someone to show me

Things in a different light

And let me choose

What's wrong and what's right

Please pick up the phone

I need to talk and I know you're at home

If you're screening your calls

I know you're busy

And I won't keep you long

If you know everything that happens to me

Why do I have to ask you

For things that I need

What about people

Who don't even call

'Cause they don't have the number

Do you help them at all

Will you show me

Things in a different light

And let me choose what's wrong and what's right

Please pick up the phone

I need to talk and I know you're at home

If you're screening your calls

I know you're busy

And I won't keep you long

Well I've moved away and I'm out on my own

Do you ever get lonely living alone

Can we just talk about it

Won't you pick up the phone

Won't you pick up the phone

Every night I sit and stare

At the wall in front of my face

Imagining you're there

Talking back to me

So that everyone can see

That I'm not so crazy after all

Well I've moved away and I'm out on my own

Do you ever get lonely living alone

Well I've moved away and I'm out on my own

Do you ever get lonely living alone

Can we just talk about it

Won't you pick up the phone

Won't you pick up the phone

Won't you pick up the phone

Won't you pick up the phone
