Dial Tones Lyrics

Shoreline Drive Dial Tones

it seems like the only thing left of us is the dial
tone that i hearwhen i pick up the phone to call you to
apologize
the voice on the other end says
they're not home, they're out with their friends
but remember that used to be me, that used to be me


and it's not that often that you come around
and i'm sorry if i let you down

i drove past your old street and observed from the
passenger's side
that the street light across from the house where we
used to hang out
doesn't seem so bright


and who are you now?
i must confess, i just don't get who we're trying to
impress

and it's not that often that you come around
you build yourself up and you just let me down

and maybe the good old days are gone
but that doesn't mean that there's not more to come
i could be more understanding and not so demanding of
you

it's not that often that you come around
and i'm sorry if i let you down
and maybe if we don't try so hard
things will happen from the heart.
