Answering Bell

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Did I slip? I know I stumbled Did I trip? 'Cause I know I fell All's I know is I'll wake up here in my clothes tomorrow [Chorus] But oh girl, I wish I knew you well Oh girl, I wish I knew you well But I'm just saying hi to your answering bell [Verse 2] Did I run? I thought I was walking Through your inexhaustible gale The names are changed but the constellations Are still falling [Chorus 2] Oh girl, if you could only tell Oh girl, if you could only tell But I'm just saying hi [Bridge] Let your tears fall and touch my skin Then your thunderclouds could rage and wail I will collect them all for you in butterfly jars [Chorus 3] And oh girl, I'll build your wishing well Oh girl, I'll build your wishing well But I'm just saying hi to your answering bell [Verse 3] Did I sleep? Must have been dreaming Did I weep? 'Cause I cried like hell All's I want is your fortress of tears to crumble [Chorus 4] And oh girl, I'd tear 'em down myself And oh girl, the stories they could tell But I'm just saying hi
