Lyrics

Collect Call

If the fire's out baby How you gonna keep me warm Supposing you let me With the door wide open no one can leave I know it's a lie I want it to be true The rest of the ride is riding on you Over goodbyes we'll buy some place for Wishing you could Keep me closer I'm a lazy dancer When you move I move with you Wishing you could Keep me closer I'm a lazy dancer When you move I move with you If somebody's got soul If somebody's got soul If somebody's got soul If somebody's got soul You gotta make the move Make the move Make the move I know it's a lie I want it to be true The rest of the ride is riding on you Over goodbyes we'll buy some place for Wishing you could Keep me closer I'm a lazy dancer When you move I move with you Wishing you could Keep me closer I'm a lazy dancer When you move I move with you Wishing you could Keep me closer I'm a lazy dancer When you move I move with you Wishing you could Keep me closer I'm a lazy dancer When you move I move with you
