Ping Me

(album: State - 2013)

I know it isn't fair to ask for something
That I may not return
Sometimes I get so absent-minded
I come off unconcerned

I guess it's true, I may have volunteered
I never dreamed that I would end up here
I wouldn't want to take up any time
Just let me know that I have crossed your mind

And ping me
You don't have to ring me
There's no gift you need to bring me
No song that you should sing me
Just ping me

When so much time has passed you wonder
Are things really the same?
And if my expectations are a burden
Then I will take the blame

It doesn't bother me to be alone
I've gotten used to being on my own
A little sustenance is all I need
A small reminder that you think of me

So ping me
You don't have to ring me
There's no gift you need to bring me
Not a song you that you should sing me
Just ping me

I thought I'd never have a friend like you
Someone who loves no matter what I do
I hope you know I feel the same way too
And I will be there if your need is true

But I have always been a solitary man
I try to change but find I never can
So please forgive my distant silences, my friend
You're in my heart until we meet again

Just ping me
You know you don't have to ring me
There's no gift you need to bring me
There's no song you need to sing me
Just ping me
Just ping me
