catch 22 - san francisco payphone lyricsone year ago today, i tossed away, a quarter that i should've saved. i faked a farwell fantasy and misbehaved. i never made an effort. my conscience went. after all the time i spent. the dollars that i dropped on you, i thought you'd say you miss me too. so here i am, a friend, the end, i meant to disregard that birthday card, nailed upon your wall he sent. i meant to turn my eyes from everything. i shouldn't see. an oath i took, you kissed my cheek. cried yourself to sleep, but never would you admit to me. [chorus] i always laughed when you laughed. cried when you cried. danced when you danced. i lied. san francisco payphone. so far from home. so many friends, and i'm alone. i faked a farewell fantasy. i lied. you bother me. my conscience gone. this conversation's dragging on. there was once upon atime when you would miss me too. so here i am, a friend, the end, i meant to disregard that birthday card, nailed upon your wall he sent. i meant to turn my eyes from everything. never made a promise. an oath i took, i kissed your cheek. cried myself to sleep, i won't admit that you see. [chorus] |
