Lyrics
Telephone rings in the middle of the night
I know it?s you on the other end of the line
But I answer anyway
You say hey baby in a whiskey voice
You know it?s late
But you?ve got no choice
You need a place
& I?ve always been your saving grace
I hear my friends? voices in my head
Saying hang up the phone girl
Get back in bed
Just when I?m thinking
This must be a bad dream
The door bell rings
Chorus
& I let you back in
All of those old feelings
Blow in like the wind
Even though I swore I?d never do this again
I let you back in
You stand there smiling closing your cell phone
Nonchalant like there?s nothing wrong & it?s not 3 am
You say look what the cat drug in
I run my fingers through my hair
The stop wondering why I even care
What you think
Then I wonder how much you?ve had to drink
You grin and say you don?t know
Where the years went
Then you sober up
& swear this time?ll be different
My head tells my heart
You?ll never change
But my heart wins again
Chorus
Bridge:
I?m the walking definition of crazy
Always making the same mistakes
So sure that this time I?ll be enough for you
And this time you?ll stay
Chorus
