[Intro]
You're watching the cars, movies and stars
They are your lifetime
Yet, all that I am is half what we are
Maybe some other time
I'll get it right
I'll get it right

[Verse 1]
Oh, sweet voice on the phone
You sound so alone
'Cause you couldn't be wasted
Yet, all that I ever was
To you I am
I'm less than a man

That slowly changes out of phase
And I don't know why it is
It's an ever-changing simple thing that I miss

[Verse 2]
While watching TV, take in what you see
So your death is painless
When all that I ever was returns again
I'm all that I am
And I'll get it right
When I get it right
'Cause I'll get it right
When I get it right

[Outro]
But I'm slowly changing out of phase
And I don't know why it is
It's an ever-changing simple thing that I know
But don't know why it is
That I'm longing for a sweet embrace, which I miss
