I tried to stay awake
waiting for your call,
but when it finally came
I'd already gone to sleep

Answering machine
had already picked up
It was set for the third ring
which had already rung as I woke up

Now I'm racing for the phone
but tangled in the sheets,
fell face flat on the floor,
and I'm spitefully cursing
because I'm hearing in the next room
you're angry I forgot you
I've forgotten you again

Picked up my old pen,
and scribbled out this note
Within a weeks time
you'll get my envelope and then you'll know

I was racing for the phone
but tangled in the sheets,
fell face flat on the floor,
and I'm spitefully cursing
because I'm hearing in the next room
you're angry I forgot you
I've forgotten you again

The danger is not in anger, oh no
But apathy will squelch the strongest love
