It happens again like you never planned it

You're talking and talking and talking as fast as you can

Baby comes calling, feel yourself falling again

It happens in moonlight, in the morning, when you're barely awake

'Til she holds your heart like she holds your hand

You can't expect me to understand

There's no time wasted if lies are told

You know that she can't hold you

You know that she can't calm you, calm you, calm you, calm you

'Cause nothing can calm you, baby

Well, throw me a line again, throw me a line again

Baby, well, baby, well

Throw me a line again, throw me a line again

I've seen the choir boys dancing cheek-to-cheek

I could sell it all, talk about the world, but talk's so cheap

Some shadow, the doorway, the alley of tears

I'm in from the cold again, I see what you fear

Still I'd take a ticket like I'd take a chance

I can't expect them to understand

There's no time wasted if lies are told

You know they try to hold you

You know they try to calm you, calm you, calm you, calm you

When nothing can calm you

They try to throw me a line again, throw me a line again

They try to, they try to

Throw me a line again, throw me a line again

It happens again like you never planned it

You're talking and talking and talking as fast as you can

Baby comes calling, feel yourself falling again

It happens in moonlight, in the morning, when you're barely awake

'Til she holds your heart like she holds your hand

You can't expect me to understand

There's no time wasted if lies are told

You know that she can't hold you now

You know that she can't calm you, calm you, calm you, calm you

When nothing can calm you, baby

Well, throw me a line again, throw me a line again

Baby, well, baby, well

Throw me a line again, throw me a line again
