The Call - Regina Spektor

Close the door Not all the way He don't understand We don't understand So don't you wanna remind me I don't know a thing And some of us remember And some run out of place Can I waste all your time here on the sidewalk? Can I stand in your light just for a while? I've waited around to wait in a room Having a hard time watching you You got it down now, don't you? I wanted to understand your face So don't you wanna remind me I don't know a thing And some of us remember And some run out of place Can I waste all your time here on the sidewalk? Can I stand in your light just for a while? I've waited around to wait in a room Having a hard time watching you (watching you) I need someone I need someone
