lyrics

How do I stop myself from walking through that door
How do I land this crash
How do I stop myself from going back for more
How do I make this last
The lights that guide me home have been turned off
I'm standing at a crossroad alone afraid and lost
And I remember when you used to say I hope there never comes a day but
In case of emergency please call
In case of emergency please call

This isn't my direction
This isn't where the compass pointed
I read you like a symphony as we crescendoed into misery still
In case of emergency please call
In case of emergency please call

The script here has your entry
But you're waiting in the wings
This carefully sewn neutrality
Is tearing at the seams
I'm not asking you to save me
I just want you to come through
This is desperation
This is my call to you

I heard the words of greeting
I heard the phone fall to the floor
I heard the echo as you walked out of the room
I heard you close the door
The lights that guide me home have been turned off
I'm standing at a crossroad alone afraid and lost
You had no obligation to me but this was my emergency
