Call for a Good Cry

How many times

Have I sat in this room alone?

Paralyzed

With my finger on my phone

I know that the moment

I hear you speak

My voice will break

And I'll feel weak

Then I remember the last thing

You said to me

Call me up for a good cry

I'll be waiting by the phone

We don't have to spend all night cryin'

We'll sob a little while and move on

Anytime you call, we can have a bawl

If you just wanna whine, that's fine

Sometimes the best way to say hi

Is a good cry

How many days, weeks, months

Since you've been around?

I get afraid I'll forget

Just how you sound

And when I start to think

That it's been a while

I muster up the courage

And I dial

I'm trying hard to live

By your advice

Call me up for a good cry

I'm still waiting by the phone

We don't have to spend all night long

We'll shed a few tears and be done

If you can't sleep

We can gently weep

Still in doubt?

We'll just pout

Maybe the best medicine right now

Is a good cry

And I know it sounds

Crazy as hell

But when the pain creeps in

And my eyes swell

And since all I that I have left

Is an old voicemail

I call you up for a good cry

It's like you're waiting by the phone

I don't waste too much time

I sob a little while and I move on

I could pour out a beer

But I chose tears

Every time, don't ask me why

I'd just rather hear your voice

And have a good cry

Sometimes the only way to say hi

Is a good cry
