Cancel Everything

Devastate me No, don't take me Don't take me the wrong way It wasn't what I meant Long wires between us Oceans screen us From understanding Everything we wanna say Tell me softly over and over again You can't speak too clearly I understand I really do Say things to me (say things) Do things to me (come on, do things) We don't make much sense On the long distance phone Encourage me with words Feed me to the birds That sit along and listen in On this telephone wire Tell me softly over and over again You can't speak too clearly I understand Cancel everything for a while This ain't the way things are supposed to be I wanna be with you Shoe shine boy Are you gonna be my friend? Seems like I've run into you again This old hotel room's too familiar for me I can't take it anymore It's the last place on earth I choose to be You don't have to worry with me If I wanted you to go I'd lose you on my own free will Yes, I need you Reassure me over and over again You can't speak too clearly I understand I really do Cancel everything
