"Telephone" lyrics

"Telephone"

I can't be here anymore
Just want it to be over
(Over)
Wanna walk where the clouds are big
And covered in clover
(Clouds of clover)
I'm sorry I ever called
Should've never, ever, ever picked up the phone
(Should've forgot your number)
It's turned into a scary dream, I never want it back at all

I never really thought you would answer
Now it's a big blown up thing
I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang
When the telephone rang

I've looked in faces that just looked away
Their eyes were dim and cloudy
(Can't see a thing)
The pain of livin' with the hand that's dealt
Is more that I can stand
(Can you take it? Can you take it? Can you take it?)
I can't forget all the mistakes I made
It'd take a lifetime to erase them
(No, I can't go back)
And even I would never change a thing
I can't waste anymore time
(Time's a wastin', time's a wastin')

I never really thought you would answer
Now it's a big blown up thing
I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang
When the telephone rang

I'm gettin' old and my friends are few
We're crossin' that big mountain
(Almost to the top, almost to the top)
The sky fills of with the stars, and moon, and rain
Pours like a fountain
(Water fallin' down)
Oh, I could sit here in the midnight air
And look at what this life takes from me
(And what it gives to you)
And count the reasons why I can't stand myself
Just had to say these things anyway

I never really thought you would answer
Now it's a big blown up thing
I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang
When the telephone rang

The ring, ring, ring, ring, ring when the telephone rang
The ring, ring, ring, ring, ring when the telephone rang
Oh, I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang
When the telephone rang
