Lyrics

Verse 1 I really miss you The woman that I chose Sometimes I need to hear your voice When we aren’t close I sit here staring at my phone Wanting to make that call Terrified of what you’ll say Afraid my hopes will fall [Pre Chorus] I know that we’re both scared Although together, we’re alone Lots of hard things to talk about But just need your love over the phone [Chorus] Sometimes I just need you I need to hear your voice I want to hear your laugh I ache to have that choice I call to feel connected To feel I’m close to you To hear that you’re still there To show my love, I follow through [Verse 2] When I know that you’re scared I know that life hurts I know that there is no horizon And your heart is about to burst I know that I should call And support with all my drive But the fear of hearing all is wrong Or that we won’t survive [Pre Chorus] I know that we’re both scared Although together, we’re alone Lots of hard things to talk about But just need your love over the phone [Chorus] Sometimes I just need you I need to hear your voice I want to hear your laugh I ache to have that choice I call to feel connected To feel I’m close to you To hear that you’re still there To show my love, I follow through [Outro] Sometimes I don’t call I don’t get to hear your voice My love for you turns into blue Silence becomes my choice [Final Chorus] Sometimes I just need you I need to hear your voice I want to hear you laugh I ache to have that choice I want to feel connected To feel you’re close to me To hear that we’re both still here To show my love, in a way that you can see I NEED YOU, TO NEED ME, TOO
