Sitting in the dark,
Staring into that computer screen
The only light in the house
The only light to be seen
He waits for her name to pop up,
Waits all night if he must
Or waits for the ring,
Of the phone that gathers dust
He'd do anything,
Wished he may, wished he might
See her, hold her, be with her
Even if only for a single night
He cries himself to sleep
When he thinks about it all
Within his joy and sorrow
He still waits for her to call
She loves him,
This much he knows
He can't embrace her now
Guilt... Here it goes
The distance is great,
But, he'll never let go
For he can't live without her
And she loves him so
Their love is so pure,
So amazing to all
No one could ever know,
He's still waiting for that call
He would do anything,
Just to see her smile
Now he lays his head down
If only for awhile
He awakens quickly,
To blaring in his head
His first motion was for the phone
As he rolled out of bed
Day shined in through the window
It was only his alarm
It was just one night,
She had meant no harm
But he missed her,
He craved just to hear her voice
She never did call
Now he had to make a choice
Call or don't call?
He knew what he wanted to do
But something told him no
The phone rings, he looks to see who
Not the name he hoped
No one important at all
A salesman poured out the receiver
He let the phone just simply fall
His eyes burned with depression
He couldn't get her off his mind
He had to do something
With desperation, he was blind
He tried all his friends,
His hopes remained dim
They were all out having fun
They had no time for him
They'd call back later
A lie he knew well
How much longer must this go on?
So still he sat... Staring at his Dell
A house built of shadow,
With only one light to be seen
He sat all night...
Staring at that computer screen
Hoping for something
Hoping for anything
But no message appeared,
And the phone never did ring
So this is where the story ends,
With this girl and this boy
It was burdened with sorrow,
With a hint of joy
He did love her
With all his broken heart
So this is where it must all end
Time to go back to the start
