Lyrics:

does this make sense to you?
cause it doesn’t make sense to me
does this have weight for you?
cause it doesn’t have weight for me

and i think my mind is far away
sort of strange, this is
but i think i’ll call you anyway
call collect, cause baby this is

an over the ocean call
and i thought i could make it short
but my brain’s all out of sorts
i can’t hide it
i’m staring at my wall
and i thought that i wouldn’t cry
but breaking your heart breaks mine
i can’t hide it
an over the ocean call
is how i told him
this isn’t working anymore

i needed space from you
but this doesn’t look like space to me
you hate the things i do
and sometimes you hate me

but i think my mind is far away
sort of strange, this is
but i think i’ll call you anyway
call collect, cause baby this is

an over the ocean call
and i thought i could make it short
but my brain’s all out of sorts
i can’t hide it
i’m staring at my wall
and i thought that i wouldn’t cry
but breaking your heart breaks mine
i can’t hide it
over the ocean call
is how i told him
this isn’t working anymore

i’m fine, i’m fine, i’m fine
i’ll call from over the ocean
this time, this time, this time
i’ll break your heart through the phone, i
(repeat once louder)

i’ll break your heart through the phone
with an

over the ocean call
and i thought i could make it short
but my brain’s all out of sorts
i can’t hide it
i’m staring at my wall
and i thought that i wouldn’t cry
but breaking your heart breaks mine
i can’t hide it
an over the ocean call
is how i told him
this isn’t working anymore
