14 Minutes

♫ Listen free on Spotify ♫
She calls me when she’s needed most without knowing
(It’s after midnight now)
I call back when the voicemail’s done its thing
(The last, third message)
She tells me
She tells me nothing but I care and I’m here
And I’m confused now
What did I do
What did I do
What did I do
What did I do to deserve such attention?
She hangs up as the night draws longer toward sleeping
(It’s after midnight after all)
But she stays up past her bedtime because she’s worried
(My face has been low)
She tells me
She tells me nothing but I care and I’m here
And I’m confused now
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew only business and fair weather
14 minutes on the phone – cheap save
To talk of nothing seems to be breakthrough remedy
She tells me
She tells me
I didn’t ask, I didn’t try
We just talked about the weather
I didn’t cry, I didn’t cry
I cried but did not tell her
It didn’t change, it didn’t change but everything was better
I didn’t crave, I didn’t crave
I find it so hard to let you leave after only 14 minutes
Could you stay a little little longer
Help me forget
She calls me when she’s needed most
