You need a fistful of ice to cool you down, your head is on fire

You’re walking a tightrope like a drunken bird in a choir

Though graceful, and fluttering,

Chirp, chirp, you’re wandering the skies at night

You live life like it’s a holiday, but you’re still following the light

And I’ll just sit there brooding

While you’re out there moving

Oh, when it’s enough for you

No need to call ahead

Just don’t wait until you’re already dead

I'll be by the phone again awaiting

Always waiting, waiting, waiting

You play the part well enough

But you never remember your lines

There’s a pep in your step, for sure,

But you’re still paying the fines

Beats the battering of unease you’re carrying in your mind

I don’t blame you but I wish you’d come to me

When you start to unwind

And I’ll just sit there quiet

And we’ll get there righted

Oh, when it’s enough for you

No need to call ahead

Just don’t wait until you’re already dead

I'll be by the phone again awaiting

Always waiting, waiting, waiting

Give it to me straight now, I don’t want another song and dance

Do you or do you not want to have a second chance?

Your silence is shattering, and our time is vanishing before my eyes

Let me at your black cloud so I can colourise it
