lyrics

Verse 1:
Morning paper on the back porch
Coffee in my mug
Little voices on the talk radio
Memorize all the things that you loved

Verse 2:
I hope you like my new songs
I’ve been trying so hard
Just wanna make you proud of your girl
While I fall apart

Chorus:
And it hurts every time
I listen to your old voicemails
Saying call me when you have a chance
And I wish that I could call you back
Oh I wish it was as simple as that
But you’re not really there

Verse 3:
You’re not walking to the corner
Or sitting in your chair
You’re not telling me that story about
when you saw James Taylor in a coffee shop

Verse 4:
And I’m not laying on the sofa
While you comb back my hair
You’re not reading me that book about Elvis
and we’re not playing chess or laughing

Chorus:
And it hurts every time
I listen to your old voicemails
Saying call me when you have a chance
And I wish that I could call you back
Oh I wish it was as simple as that
Oh I wish that life was fair
But you’re not really there
