I've discovered for myself this time
The start of everything to me
Is to know our love is older than the sea
But don't let another flame inside
Your fire-proof heart
Cause I'm not your full-time lover
And it's tearing me apart
I've been hanging on this line too long
855-7019
Don't you ever answer
855-7019
Don't you hear the word
Search for a sign, baby
She was the past and the future
I just got burned
855-7019
Is a private number
I know in your mind that you think
It's a crime, but I had to call
First and last, there will
Never be a past or a future
If you kill my phone
Baby lifts her eyes
And I'm a slave to all the lies
And I'm forever lost
I believe in you and me
Together and it keeps this love alive
855-7019
Don't you ever answer
855-7019
Don't you hear the word
Search for the sign, baby
She was the past and the future
I just got burned
I have suffered for my sins today
With the pain of love
Before the dawning comes
The darker is the night
I'm born to be the one to share your life
That shows I don't need no operator
I don't want no one to know
How much I need you
855-7019
Don't you ever answer
I know in your mind that you think
It's a crime, but I had to call
First and the last, there will
Never be a past or a future
If you kill my phone
Baby lifts her eyes and I'm a slave to all the lies
And I'm forever lost
I believe in you and me together
And it keeps this love alive
855-7019
Don't you ever answer
855-7019
Don't you hear the word
Search for the sign, baby
She was the past and the future
I just got burned
855-7019
Is a private number
I know in your mind that you think
It's a crime, but I had to call
First and last, there will
Never be a past or a future
If you kill my phone
