I have a tune in my head but it doesn't actually have music to it yet. I wrote this one about a year ago, Christmas time. I will tell you what it is about after, unless you can guess.

And If I could think of anything to say I guess I wouldn't be
Speechless. Standing. Waiting.
It's only 11 but it feels like 3.
And it's cold enough to warrant a reason to leave.

My back's on the wall but I feel like I'm in charge...
I guess I'm lying to myself after all.
Am I strong enough to pull myself up?
Is this it? Did I try hard enough?

[Chorus]
The payphone on the corner is broken
I remind you to call me guess I shouldn't have spoken
and as the spotlight fades, it's taken away
and every good thing that you knew never mattered anyway

And if I could think of anything to feel I guess I wouldn't be
Useless. Listen. Nothing.
It's half past 2 but it feels like 3.
Why do bad things always happen to me?

I'm down on the ground but I feel like I'm up...
I seem to lack the urge to give up
And am I strong enough to let this one go?
Is it over? What do I owe?

The payphone on the corner is broken
I remind you to call me guess I shouldn't have spoken
and as the spotlight fades, it's taken away
and every good thing that you knew never mattered anyway
And as the last car pulls itself onto the shoulder
I feel kind of weak and I look myself over
And as my good life fades, its taken away
At least I never had the decency to care anyway

{bridge}
Is it so bad to rather drown that fall
Out the top floor window of a desolate hall
And to pass through the air looking back on it all
And regretting your actions as you hit the wall

The payphone on the corner is broken
I remind you to call me guess I shouldn't have spoken
and as the spotlight fades, it's taken away
and every good thing that you knew never mattered anyway
And as the last car pulls itself onto the shoulder
I feel kind of weak and I look myself over
And as my good life fades, its taken away
At least I never had the decency to care anyway

Its finally dawn etc
Its finally dawned.
