Michelle Morris Poet Lyric

I just want to hear from you

I just want to hear from you

I picked up the phone 
To dial your number 
And then it slammed back home
That you're no longer here

Life is funny
It's funny like that
The ones we miss the most
Die way too soon

And here I stand, the mirror speaks
The reflection older, the eyes wise and sweet
And here I stand, the mirror knows
I tried everything (I know), to let you go

Call me crazy, call me strange
But what is love and loss for the Gods untamed?
Call me stupid, call me fool
I keep holding on (darling), to hear from you

What is it, what is life?
This amazing dance, this amazing chance
What is it, what is love?
It's everything, a gift we all covet

What is it, what is hope?
The thing with wings, to fly and cope
What is it, what is faith?
The things we believe, the things we crave

And here I stand, the mirror speaks
The reflection older, the eyes wise and sweet
And here I stand, the mirror knows
I tried everything (I know), to let you go

Call me crazy, call me strange
But what is love and loss for the Gods untamed?
Call me stupid, call me fool
I keep holding on (darling), to hear from you

I keep holding on (darling), to hear from you
I keep holding on (darling), to hear from you
I just want to hear from you
I just want to hear from you
