I need to hear your voice
It's been way too long
But I have no idea where you are
I guess I could just pick up the phone
I guess that you might be home

But how can I be sure that you're awake?
How can I be sure that it's okay?

It's pretty late, on central time
It's getting late
It's a school night
I guess it can wait till tomorrow
Guess it can wait till you call back

I called last
I'm pretty sure I called last

Some of my friends have cellular phones
Phones that they always answer
Except when they sleep
They turn them off
So nobody ever wakes them

So I could make some calls
But I really don't want to talk to anyone else tonight

I need to hear your voice
It's been way to long
I'd love to hear your voice
It's just like my favorite song

I guess I could just read all your old notes
I guess I could just watch you on a video
I guess I could just listen to one of my sentimental anthems

But how can I be sure that you're alright?
How can I be sure you're not as lonely as me tonight?

I never want to own a cellular phone
I never want to know that anybody could reach me
If they only wanted to

Maybe you don't know if I'm home
Maybe you're afraid you'll wake me up
But I wish that you would pick up the phone
I'm praying for your call

'Cause I don't know if you're home
And I don't want to wake you up
