My life is one of movement
I been traveling as fast as I can
I've inherited trial and error directly from my old man
But I'm committed to the consequences
Whether I stand or fall
And when I get back to my life
I think I'm gonna give her a call
I think I'm gonna give her a call
ย
She's been waiting patiently
For me to put my trip together
And it touches something deep inside
When she said she'd wait forever
Because forever's right up on me now
That is, if it ever comes at all
And when I get back to my life
I think I'm gonna give her a call
I think I'm gonna give her a call
She didn't know
She could hardly believe
How much she means to me
No, she wouldn't know
She could scarcely understand
Why I cling so desparately to dreams
But she's calmed me in the evening
She's calmed me in the night
Calmed my fear of dreaming
And made my fear blind
My life's been one of running away
Just as fast as I can
But I've been no more successful at getting by
Than was my old man
But if you come to recognise the truth and understand
That the truth is really all
Then why I get back to my life
I think I'm gonna give her a call
I think I'm gonna give her a call
Yes, when I get back to my life
I think I'm gonna give her a call
Say, say, when I get back to my life
I get back to my life, I think I'll call
Saying, yeah, get back to my life
I get back to my life, I think I'll call
Yeah, yeah, say
Get back to my life, get back to my life
Say, get back to my life, say get back to my life
If I ever really get back to my life
Get back to my life, I think I'll call
I say, I say, I say
Get back to my life, get back to my life
