Stay On The Phone Lyrics
One waitress
Outside of,
Phone booth, South Carolina
Sits, keeps killing time
Rolls her eyes
Roll of dimes
Speak of this sick surrounding sin
Tears me from limb to limb, within
I don’t know how to let it go
This far away from home
One word was mistaken
Context that it was taken from
Write it down
Must be sound
Must be true
I hope you can hear me
My only sanctuary asks
Why am I here?
Why aren’t I home?
As the line builds for the phone
I want it all
Work to a fault
That breaks us in two
And always at play
The end of the day
I’m alone and so are you
Old stories
Gas stations
Repeating conversations
Still, I can’t speak long
The show has to go on
At best I, might question
The focus of my attention
Though, you know that I could bring it down
I want it all
Work to a fault
That breaks us in two
And always at play
The end of the day
I’m alone and so are you
One waitress, invading
But I’m content to make her wait
It’s all I have
So far from home
Oh please stay on the phone
Outside of,
Phone booth, South Carolina
Sits, keeps killing time
Rolls her eyes
Roll of dimes
Speak of this sick surrounding sin
Tears me from limb to limb, within
I don’t know how to let it go
This far away from home
Context that it was taken from
Write it down
Must be sound
Must be true
I hope you can hear me
My only sanctuary asks
Why am I here?
Why aren’t I home?
As the line builds for the phone
Work to a fault
That breaks us in two
And always at play
The end of the day
I’m alone and so are you
Gas stations
Repeating conversations
Still, I can’t speak long
The show has to go on
At best I, might question
The focus of my attention
Though, you know that I could bring it down
Work to a fault
That breaks us in two
And always at play
The end of the day
I’m alone and so are you
But I’m content to make her wait
It’s all I have
So far from home
Oh please stay on the phone

i think this is such a beautiful song. the first time i heard it i feel in love. it reminds of cant hardly wait, when caroline rhea is the angel talking to that kid. the end of the day im alone and so are you beautiful
wasnt jenna elfman the angel not carolin rhea ?
its a tragedy that "cant hardly wait" appears in the comments for this song...what the fuck, it deserves better recognition than that.
i agree
I picked up "Para Toda Vida" when it came out, and I was disappointed at first listen on the way home from the store because it wasn't what I was expecting after "Never You Mind." But the next time I listened I loved it, and I get the songs stuck in my head all the time. He's just so honest and...I almost want to say raw, in a wonderful way.
I love this song, probably my favorie out of all TNA's songs. Reminds me of the summers i spend away from my girlfriend :(
