Wrong Line

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hello, operator You know my name I keep calling back And it plays the same My fingers know the code My heart knows the tune But every time I reach her I’m talking to the moon [Pre-Chorus] One click, two clicks Then she slips away I hear that little silence Standing in my way [Chorus] Wrong line, wrong line I can’t get through Wrong line, wrong line What am I to do? Wrong line, wrong line I call, you’re gone Wrong line, wrong line Tell me what went on [Verse 2] Her number on the paper Creased and worn I’ve tried it in the evening I’ve tried it at dawn The ring just ends Before it starts Like somebody cut The wire on my heart [Pre-Chorus] One click, two clicks Then she slips away I hear that little silence Standing in my way [Chorus] Wrong line, wrong line I can’t get through Wrong line, wrong line What am I to do? Wrong line, wrong line I call, you’re gone Wrong line, wrong line Tell me what went on [Bridge] If you changed your number Say it straight to me Don’t leave me chasing shadows On this busted sea I’m still here waiting By the phone glow’s edge Hoping one small voice Will answer what I’ve said [Chorus] Wrong line, wrong line I can’t get through Wrong line, wrong line What am I to do? Wrong line, wrong line I call, you’re gone Wrong line, wrong line Tell me what went on
