Call At Four



I remember the days spent laying in your bed.

the world could never come between us

or at least, that's what we said



we made up stories about our past

that we told to one another

as false as can be, it didn't matter

we always had each other



I remember when you'd wake me up at four

just because you wanted

to talk a little more

in the morning when I saw you

the days were never dull

no makeup and pajamas

you thought i was beautiful



I remember, in the car

we didn't drive very far

or at least we didn't feel it

savored every minute



you jumped on the bus and waved 'til out of sight

called me up the minute you got home that night



couldn't be perfect

but you gave all you could give

you didn't think you could ever love me right

I still know you did



I remember when we'd fight

said we couldn't do this anymore, good-bye

you called me later on that night



I still remember when we stayed up all night

cried in each other's arms

and wished we could make things right



I remember the silly promises

when your next girlfriend came along

we wouldn't let things go wrong

we'd never let our friendship lack

you promised I'd still ride front

with her in back



I remember how it felt so right

you swore I'd be your wife



I remember how you'd hug me.

swore no one could ever love me

the way you do

said "I'll always be here for you"



I often forget what went wrong...though I remember.

I remember what I had.

now that it's gone..

it wasn't that bad



I'm sure if I went back today

I would regret it

so I admire the past from afar

I never could forget it



I hear about your life now.

you and I are happy

I wouldn't trade my present at all

but sometimes at night

I long for a random call



I left you.

I forget why.

I thought, I hoped you'd always wait



I knew you gave up and walked out the door

when I sat up all night

for no call at four.



I took for granted what kept me complete

but now that I'm whole again..

will we ever meet.. again?



I remember you said you'd love me forever.

I promised the same.

if only now from afar

as long as we still are

it won't be that hard



as a matter of fact..

we can live with that
