She calls him early because she knows he'll be asleep
She leaves a message after the beep
She says she's better now but she's still incomplete
She's trying hard to make her voice sound soft and sweet

A couple hours pass until he picks up the phone
He wasn't ready for the shock he holds his breath now
He plays the message twice and then the
Dull tone reminds him that she's not around
It's a lonely sound...

He's got perspective, and she's got nothing left
And he wonders why he can't go on
He's singing:

(Chorus)
Would she, could she been thinking of me all along?
And if faster, would she tell me the truth?
'Cause it's a long way down when your
Hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm falling for you

She's like an hourglass that never got the sand
She's hollow and transparent like an infant
He's a lonely boy but he still loves his life
He doesn't look to make a scene he looks to make right

He's got perspective, and she's got nothing left
And he wonders why he can't go on
He's singing:

[Chorus]
Would she, could she been thinking of me all along?
And if faster, would she tell me the truth?
'Cause it's a long way down when your
Hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm falling for you

I'm holding out, I'm strong and I'm proud
And there's a new heart
I've got thinking on me
It's time you face yourself, take a look at this girl
And you'll see what I see

Would she, could she been thinking of me all along?
And if faster, would she tell me the truth?
'Cause it's a long way down when your
Hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm falling for you

Would she, could she been thinking of me all along?
And if faster, would she tell me the truth?
'Cause it's a long way down when your
Hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm falling for you

'Cause it's a long way down when your
Hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm falling for you
