Guess That's Why I'm Calling

(album: State Of The Heart - 2021)

We laid to rest
All our best intentions
And we sought our separate corners
I'm not calling you
To bring up some old sorrow
Or for the records that you borrowed

I didn't think this through
Just heard a voice like yours
Sitting in this booth
Watching coffee pour
There's an empty seat beside me
I haven't seemed to fill
But that's not why I'm calling
That's not why I'm calling

It's just that there's a little bit of you
In everything I see and do
And I just wanted to tell you
I'm sorry how we ended
And now I cannot pretend
I was young and selfish then
And I hope you're doing well
Did you get out of that town
I hope you're getting everything that you wanted
I guess that's why I'm calling

We crossed state lines
Tried to climb
Some great height
But our breath was getting shorter
I'm not calling you darling for some grand revival
I know our end was final

Just didn't think this through
I just heard a voice like yours
Just sitting in this booth
Watching coffee pour
There's an empty seat beside me
That I haven't seemed to fill
But that's not why I'm calling
That's not why I'm calling

It's just that there's a little bit of you
In everything I see and do
And I just wanted to tell you
That I'm sorry how we ended
And now I cannot pretend
I was young and selfish then
And I hope you're doing well
Did you get out of that town
I hope your getting everything that you wanted
Yeah I guess that's why
Yeah I guess that's why I'm calling

For no reason
Like I used to
And darling who am I kidding
Yeah I miss this
Oh I miss you
I do

It's just that there's a little bit of you
In everything I see and do
And I just wanted to tell you
Just that there's a little bit of you
In everything I see and do
And I just wanted to tell you
That I'm sorry how we ended
And now I cannot pretend
I was young and selfish then
And I hope you're doing well
Did you get out of that town
I hope your getting everything that you wanted
That you wanted
