[Verse 1] My life is one of movement I been traveling as fast as I can And I've inherited trial and error directly from my old man But I'm committed to the consequences Whether I stand or fall [Refrain] And when I get back to my life I think I'm gonna give her a call I think I'm gonna give her a call [Verse 2] She's been waiting patiently For me to put my trip together And it touches something deep inside When she said she'd wait forever Because forever's right up on me now That is, if it ever comes at all [Refrain] And when I get back to my life I think I'm gonna give her a call I think I'm gonna give her a call [Bridge] She didn't know, she could hardly believe How much she means to me No, she wouldn't know, she could scarcely understand Why I cling so desperately to dreams But she's calmed me in the evening She's calmed me in the night Calmed my fear of dreaming And maybe my fear of life [Verse 3] My life's been one of running away Just as fast as I can But I've been no more successful at getting away Than was my old man But if you come to recognize the truth And understand that the truth is really all [Refrain] Then when I get back to my life I think I'm gonna give her a call I think I'm gonna give her a call [Outro] Yes, when I get back to my life I think I'm gonna give her a call Say, say, when I get back to my life I get back to my life I think I'll call Yeah, yeah, get back to my life I get back to my life I think I'll call Yeah, yeah, say, get back to my life Get back to my life Say, get back to my life Say, get back to my life If I ever really get back to my life Get back to my life I think I'll call Say, say, say Get back to my life Get back to my life
