I can tell

You're standing there alone

Waiting for

Someone to call your own

 

When do you find a lover

When do you take your cover

When do they tell you

How to run on your own

 

When did your mother grieve you

When did your father leave you

Why do you have to ask

To be left alone

 

Growing

Hear the dial tone

 

Nights walking, holding hands

Days sticking toes in the sand

We can't understand

But we'll leave if we can

 

I can tell

You don't know what to do

Waiting for

Someone to drop a clue

 

When do you leave your lover

When do you take another

When do they tell you

How to love on your own

 

Growing

Hear the dial tone

 

Nights walking, holding hands

Days sticking toes in the sand

We can't understand

But we'll leave if we can

 

You don't know where to go

Waiting for the train to show

 

It's hard to let it go

When you hear the dial tone

 

Nights walking, holding hands

Days sticking toes in the sand

We can't understand

But we'll leave if we can
