I just called to see if you could talk,

To tell you Merry Christmas,

Or at least that's what I said,

Because obviously you couldn't,

 

Stop to say hello,

Not even for a second,

I could tell by the quick way you answered,

How you been?,

 

Good.

And so I asked about your life,

And you breathed into the phone,

Letting me know you didn't have a good connection,

 

So I chose not to tell you,

That I've missed you again,

That I dreamt of you last night,

Of Christmas at Aunt Gwens...

 

I chose not to tell you,

That I dreamt of your voice,

I had to call you,

I wasn't given a choice,

 

But thank you for being so...

Preoccupied,

A little of your life,

Did you let me spy,

 

You're still the same Topher,

Just grinding the stone,

And maybe I'm not the only one,

Who feels so alone.
