And I know it's what I must do
Miss you until I'm numb to the bone
Don't run to the phone
Last time I tried this, I had to go off the grid
I went to Yosemite, with no bars, I thought I'd get rid
Of any thoughts of you
So what did I do?
I drove to a pay phone
Broke a ten buying a sticker of a bear and quarters to call "home"
You thought I was calling from Arizona
What a rush to talk to you on that phone
Hating myself, feeling crazy at the same time
Like I was piling dust on a mirror and doing a line
It left me trembling and happy and hating
myself for all the trouble I was taking
It took forever, but somehow I pulled through
And today here I am missing another dude
