I was trying to call but the line was busy
All night on the telephone
Oh well I'll try again with reason
But you were waiting for me to call an hour back
Like I promised once so long ago
I swear I tried baby I didn't mean to

We're like the right and the left hand
On time in a circle with a minute just for you

Going round and round
We are stuck again living up, living up in time
Going round and round
We are stuck again living up, living up in time

I was trying to call but the line was busy
All night on the telephone
Oh well I'll try again with reason

She said maybe I should think about the way I am
Or the way I keep making promises when I can't
Trying to be trying to please
Your mind with lies to hide and keep
With a minute just for you

Going round and round
We are stuck again living up, living up in time
Going round and round
We are stuck again living up, living up in time
If you were to control every hour on the clock
Would we have turned out different?
If we were to sync up every moment on the dot
For us to keep on living in?
Inside the shell prepared by our
Ideals of life of show and tell
I'm aching just to tell you how
This cycle's just not working out
I guess I'm just calling quits

I was trying to call but the line was busy
All night on the telephone
Oh well I'll try again with reason

Going round and round
We are stuck again living up, living up in time
Going round and round
We are stuck again living up, living up in time
