If The Phone Doesn't Ring It's Me Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

If The Phone Doesn't Ring It's Me 

1985 

"The time spent writing about the intensity involved in trying to 

keep love together is short; but the endless research can kill you." 

There are oceans of feelings between us 

Currents that take us and sweep us away 

That's why we seldom have seen us 

In the light of a cold hard day 

Lots of new friends with the same old answers 

Open your eyes 

You might see 

If our lives were that simple 

We'd live in the past 

If the phone doesn't ring 

It's me

If the phone doesn't ring 

You'll know that it's me 

I'll be out in the eye of the storm 

If the phone doesn't ring 

You know that I'll be 

Where someone can make me feel warm 

It's too bad we can't turn 

And live in the past 

If the phone doesn't ring 

It's me 

I've had good days and bad days 

And goin' half mad days 

I try to let go but you're still on my mind 

I've lost all the old ways 

I'm searchin' for new plays 

Puttin' it all on the line 

Photos 

Lots of new friends with the same old problems 

Open your eyes you might see 

If our lives were that simple 

We'd live in the past 

If the phone doesn't ring 

It's me 

If the phone doesn't ring 

You'll know that it's me 

I'll be out in the eye of the storm 

If the phone doesn't ring 

You know that I'll be 

Where someone can make me feel warm 

It's too bad we can't turn 

And live in the past 

If the phone doesn't ring 

It's me 

It's me, it's me 

It's me, it's me 

It's me, it's me 

It's me, it's me 

If it takes all the future 

We'll live through the past 

If the phone doesn't ring 

It's me
