When you called
  it was good to hear your voice,
  but harder to hear you laugh.
  I had to choke back tears when you said
  you were okay with this.
  And it seemes that this experiment
  isin't going quite the way I planned.
    [Chorus]
  And I'll say,
  "It's not enough for me
  to keep a tight grip on the phone.
  This line can give only so much slack,
  before you're hearing my dial tone."
    You and I agreed to give it time
  and I thought that this was helping at first.
  But every minute away from you
  just pushed me further away.
  And it seemes that this experiment
  isin't going quite the way I planned.
    [Chorus]
    I know I promised the world to you,
  but now I'm halfway across the world
  from you.
    It's not enough for me.
  I've got to live for me yeah.
  For me, yeah.
