[Verse 1]
All the phones have rung and rung
Theyre off the hook, all but one
And all the mail stacked up inside
Up from the floor, a mile high

[Pre-Chorus]
And like one would, like a child
I am asking
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in?

[Chorus 1]
And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth is its all a big lie
I find that the words are hard to describe
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply

[verse 2]
Climbing trees and paper planes
Life as a kid, we're all the same
Tears of joy, and sullen hearts
Sticks and stones and broken arms

[Pre-Chorus]
And like one would, like a child
I am asking
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in?
[Chorus 2]
And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth is its all a big lie
I find that the words are hard to describe
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply
I found out whats wrong, and its not you or i
Or anyone else that you chose to deny
It seems like the madness of choice in the life
Has made it unclear if we run or we hide

[Chorus 3]
And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth is its all a big lie
I find that the words are hard to describe
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply
I found out whats wrong, and its not you or i
Or anyone else that you chose to deny
It seems like the madness of choice in the life
Has made it unclear if we run or we hide
