Structure
Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years
You'd like to meet, to go over
Everything
They say the time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing
Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger
And free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
There's such a difference between us and a million miles
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times to tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
How long from the outside?
At least I can say that I'm trying?
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Hello,
how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself I'm sorry, I hope that you will
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
It's no secret that the both of us are running out of time
It's no secret that the both of us are running out of time
So hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times to tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried) to tell you I'm sorry
For breaking your heart, but it won't matter
It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Half life, half life, half life, half life, half life
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I've been sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
