Answer the Call

Since I am alone

Since my heart has no home

Any thought that wants out of my head

Better pack a lunch and dress for bad weather

Since I am afraid

That some kind of mistake has been made

If I say what I truly mean

I'm sure that I'll be send off into exile forever

Sometimes all that it comes down to

Is knowing when to go and when to stall

The joys are as small as the truth is precious

There is no anthemic chorus at all

There is just a call to answer

And you've only got to answer the call

Most of the time

The clear and tender thoughts can't get me to rise

They don't rhyme, and they're not mine

It's the church bell's job the morning to shatter

But once in a while

I'll be curled up like a snail on the bathroom tile

With one eye closed so my blind eyes can see

What I've been scratching out on paper like it matters

Sometimes all that it comes down to

Is knowing when to go and when to stall

The joys are as small as the truth is precious

There is no anthemic chorus at all

There is just a call to answer

And you've only got to answer the call

Just start thinking of everything you have as a bonus

If all of your time is borrowed

How could you ever be blue?

Sometimes all that it comes down to

Is knowing when to go and when to stall

The joys are as small as the truth is precious

There is no anthemic chorus at all

There is just a call to answer

And you've only got to answer the call

There is just a call to answer

And you've only got to answer the call

There is just a call to answer

And you've only got to answer the cal
