  • All the lights out in Rivercity
    All the phone lines are dark and gritty
    Every half home is up late waiting
    I can't leave here til you come get me

    I keep picking up the line
    To hear you on the other side
    Can you hear me?
    Every time you say goodbye
    I'm left here waiting for a sign
    Can you hear me?
    Hear me, hear me, hear me

    No, can't tell you to be safe
    Can't tell you to be strong
    Can't tell you that I love you
    So don't put down the phone
    Too far away to hold you
    Too close to let you go
    But I can't fight this for you
    So don't put down the phone

    Don't! Don't!
    Don't put down the phone
    Don't! Don't!
    Don't put down the phone

    All the ghosts live in Rivercity
    Check my pulse, is my heart still beating?
    Focus hard on your face, it's fading
    I can't leave here til you come get me

    I keep picking up the line
    To hear you on the other side
    Can you hear me?
    Every time you say goodbye
    I'm left here waiting for a sign
    Can you hear me?
    Hear me, hear me, hear me

    No, can't tell you to be safe
    Can't tell you to be strong
    Can't tell you that I love you
    So don't put down the phone
    Too far away to hold you
    Too close to let you go
    But I can't fight this for you
    So don't put down the phone

    Don't! Don't!
    Don't put down the phone
    Don't! Don't!
    Don't put down the phone

    Hear me, hear me, hear me

    No, can't tell you to be safe
    Can't tell you to be strong
    Can't tell you that I love you
    So don't put down the phone
    Too far away to hold you
    Too close to let you go
    But I can't fight this for you
    So don't put down the phone

    Don't! Don't!
    Don't put down the phone
    Don't! Don't!
    Don't put down the phone
    Don't! Don't!
    Don't put down the phone
    Don't! Don't!
