Red Line

All alone again, phone forgot to ring
Even if it did, I doubt that it would be for me
Bedside table photographs of you
Half smoked cigarettes remember something too good to be true
And you called me and told me you were home
Watching movies with your friends while I sit by the phone
I guess I’ll have another cigarette
Guess I’ll write another song
If I could be anything, I’d be an aeroplane
And then I’d fly so far away
Five hundred miles
So that you could look at me that way
The ceiling is so lonely
When it’s all that you can see
Lying here on my back thinking of your smile
And the next time you’ll show it to me
And I can’t help being jealous of your room
When you’re in it all alone
And I can’t help being jealous of your friends
When you’re having fun and I’m stuck here at home
I took the El today
And everything reminded me of you
I remember when we sat on the steps
Eating popsicles that turned your lips blue
I knew it then and I know it now
My favorite dream has come true
I knew it then and I know it now
I love you so much and I’ll never meet another like you
