I've Been Meaning to Call歌词

[00:15.269]Early to rise, early to bed
[00:18.341]That moment I arisen I shaved my head
[00:21.790]Doing so that morning began with a grin
[00:25.384]I left behind my old feebled skin
[00:30.805]It was middle of May, the seasons were bending
[00:34.733]I in with the seasons could predict no ending
[00:38.165]Lived in the moment, being as it were
[00:41.396]That moment surrendered and led me to her
[00:47.549]Exchanging glances, our eyes by a thread
[00:50.903]I tucked her right over by a tilt in my head
[00:56.444]I followed her blind to an old record store
[01:00.181]While one of her friends found a way through the door
[01:05.973]In the dark we played records with everyone high
[01:09.704]I held her hands when the police drove by
[01:12.998]She asked me about home, if I missed it at all
[01:16.037]I thought mama, oh, mom I've been meaning to call
[01:34.932]The band went home, I stayed behind
[01:37.924]I took the Muskegon ferry from the Milwaukee line
[01:41.621]Arrived at her door to clutch all her heartstrings
[01:44.984]We're driving up North to forget everything
[01:50.923]I followed her to beaches, we slept on the dunes
[01:54.342]I still see her eyes lit by fragments of moons
[01:57.829]Not crescent nor full, inside of the storm
[02:01.262]She'd dive and resurface each time changing form
[02:07.221]But time kept insisting we both sink like rocks
[02:10.947]Time out of water resumed on the clocks
[02:14.022]She slept while the second hand spun on the wall
[02:17.061]I thought mama, oh, mom I've been meaning to call
[02:35.070]I didn't want to lose her, I bought two tickets home
[02:38.350]We left Copper Harbor scared to be alone
[02:41.984]Standing there watching our feet off the plane
[02:45.327]Each step she took further, I was less the same
[02:51.127]I was running from whoever I was at the time
[02:54.429]I went running right into the middle of a crime
[02:57.894]I was calling in the quicksand just to get above the grime
[03:01.437]Just to come up for some air, I was climbing to climb
[03:05.053]And I didn't mean to hurt you when I turned on a dime
[03:08.256]And just within a day you were well on your way
[03:14.245]And I went to the river where all sinners meet
[03:19.247]Watched the animals run from headlights in the street
[03:23.900]I thought I'm like all the rest, I just wanna be impressed
[03:27.530]You've gotta be above someone to watch 'em fall
[03:31.284]Emily, I've been meaning
[03:34.532]Emily, I've been meaning
[03:37.546]Emily, I've been meaning to call
