Collect Call Lyrics

It's a love gone stale.

"If the fire's out baby, how you gonna keep me warm?" "I know it's a lie, I want it to be true."

This makes me think of a relationship that has gone on so long it's become more of a routine than anything. These two people are in a relationship solely because they've been in it for so long, being out of it just wouldn't make sense, but they've lost the passion. This song, to me, is one of them finally admitting it.
