If I call you, then I'm crazy, if I call you

If I call you, you ain't gonna answer

If I was ever to just call you

See, my problem is I want you

To know who I am

When all that matters is that I know

Who the hell I am

I picture young Robert Frost

Pen in hand, yelling at the postman

No letter has he received

Even a 'no' would be alright

Even a 'sorry but not today'

A sign of life would bring relief

Even a 'thank you, but no thank you'

'Good bye'

'Take care'

'I already got one'

I thought I heard you laugh once, no?

I guess it must have been a ghost

I don't see no one

Every time I get close

Can't keep you around

Thought I knew you

But it must have been a ghost

'Cause I don't see no one

Shame on my eyes

Thinking you were real

Now today, all them horses

Run a bit faster

So I know if you wanted

You could give me an answer

See, my problem is I want you

To know who I am

When all that matters is that I know

Who the hell I am

I picture young Honest Abe

Twiddling his thumbs for two weeks

No Letter has he received

Are you one of those people

That would rather disappear

Than show up and disagree?

Give us a 'thank you, but no thank you'

'Good bye'

'Take care'

'I already got one'

We cried together once, no?

I guess it must have been a ghost

I don't see no one

Every time I get close

Can't keep you around

Thought I knew you

But it must have been a ghost

'Cause I don't see no one

Shame on my eyes

Thinking you were real
