If You Want To
[Verse 1]
Hello
Yes, that's what I said
I guess I thought that I was dead
So I just called you from my bed
To say hello
You see I got this funny notion
Life is only just an ocean
I've been drowning in emotion
Now I'm swimming back to shore
And I'd like to talk to you

[Chorus]
If you want to
You can call, I'll be around
If you want to
You can write this number down
If you want to
If you want to
Leave a message at the tone
If you want to
You can call me here at home
If you want to
I'll be alone

[Verse 2]
So now I've called
Yes, it's been a couple days
Okay, seven, this I know
But I've been movin' kind of slow
And so I called
Oh, it must be so appalling
If you think that I've been stalling
This is me now, I am calling
And I'm better than before
And I'd like to talk to you
[Chorus]
If you want to
You can call, I'll be around
If you want to
You can write this number down
If you want to
If you want to
Leave a message at the tone
If you want to
You can call me here at home
If you want to
I'll be alone

[Bridge]
Don't you wanna know?
Don't you wanna be
Someone who takes a chance
On a fool like me?
Staring at the door
Staring down the hall
Waiting my whole life
Just for you to call

[Verse 3]
Hello
Yes, that's what I said
I am breathing, I'm not dead
I'm waiting here now in my bed
And I'd like to talk to you
[Chorus]
If you want to
You can call, I'll be around
If you want to
You can write this number down
If you want to
If you want to
Let your fingers do the walk
If you want to
I got hours, I can talk
If you want to, if you want to
If you want to
Leave a message at the tone
If you want to
You can call me here at home
If you want to
I'll be alone
