****************LYRICS**********************

VERSE 1:
We're on this roller coaster ride
Hold on I'll stay here by your side
We head up to the sky then we slide back down

Upside down tryin to figure out
Not sure if we could work it out
I wanna be alone but you feel like home

CHORUS:
Answer the phone I know that your home
I wanna get you alone and do it again do it again
Answer the phone I know that your home
I wanna get you alone and do it again do it again

VERSE 2:
Those signals all are flashin red
It doesn't matter what was said
This bed is much too big without me and you

This all seems so ridiculous
Why cant we just get over this
Dont make me say the obvious without you

CHORUS:
Answer the phone I know that your home
I wanna get you alone and do it again do it again
Answer the phone I know that your home
I wanna get you alone and do it again do it again

BRIDGE:
I practice all my lies through a telephone while you were sleeping
I practice all my lies through a telephone while you were sleeping
I practice all my lies through a telephone while you were sleeping

I remember the way you curled your toes
On a side of the stage at all our shows
And the glow on your face just because of one rose
And when I wake up in the mornin and your wearin my clothes

CHORUS:
Answer the phone I know that your home
I wanna get you alone and do it again do it again
Answer the phone I know that your home
I wanna get you alone and do it again do it again

OUTRO:
do it again do it again do it again do it again
And do it again do it again do it again do it again
I wanna do it again do it again do it again do it again
And do it again do it again do it again do it again
