out of the blue

out of the blue

you called the other day to tell me
you were going away
wished you could take me
and it seemed no nice
but so out of place
that'd be allright
if we talked everyday
but it's been months since we
cried and apologized
even longer since we've
been together like we cared
like we used to
so i don't hesitate to speak my mind
ask you why after all this time
you'll call me to say your leaving
and you'll be returning in 2 days
you seem surprised that i ask and
tell me
you wish you could take me with you
wish i could be there
and for a moment
i ease back into the past
where taking road trips with you
was a chance i wouldn't pass
but u tell me
i have to work
and i wonder if this would work
again.
you tell me so i wont miss you
your leaving
when was the last time you called me
to let me know where'd you be?
has to be last summer
when you last acted like you cared about me
tell me
you can't wait to return
maybe we can have some fun
and i wonder
what makes you reach through the darkness
to touch me
again.
