I was wishing you were here

I couldn't shake that feeling

Held the phone against my ear

Heard you on the other end

Don't remember what you said but

I do remember what it meant

To think those cables curled

Halfway around the world so

You and i could trade some words

Made it strange to say

But i could almost see your face there

Though you were miles away

I hope that you're receiving what i send

Though the meaning teeters on the fence

In between the speaker and what you said

Sometimes it bends

Something i couldn't name

I sensed it right away, babe

I could read it on your face

You said: "i know it isn't right

But i can't help the way i feel sometimes

You were in my dream last night"

"loving someone new

Looked like the one you used to

Hold beneath a younger moon

And now that i'm awake

It's like what separates these two planes

Finally broke beneath the weight"

"of what you receive and what you send

Though the meaning teeters on the fence

In between the dream and what you dreamt

Sometimes it bends"
