lyrics

there's a telephone here waiting
it hasn't rung for years, it's an antique fading
if it did i'm sure i'd hear from you
you'd tell me how things are out there changing
it's so celestial in it's function
it's got a rotary dial that spins for something
like how the planets move, it seems to me
there's a crucial piece that i might be missing

i knew it, i knew it
you've come this far, you should see yourself through it
i knew it, i knew it
what a wonderful life it would be with me

i see a tender-loving moment
between a father/daughter, i'll never know it
as i'm walking past the traffic signs
and wading my way through the caffeine lovers
i've got a twisted sense of humor
it's a tangled mess, it's a prominent feature
it's a spiral cord of plastic debris
that keeps me tethered to my receiver

i knew it, i knew it
you've come this far, you should see yourself through it
i knew it, i knew it
what a wonderful life it would be
i knew it, i knew it
i've finally found the piece that i'm missing
i knew it, i knew it
what a wonderful life it would be with me
