Transit in the Ryes - Let Me Put You on Hold Lyrics

I don't wanna say
'Cause then it will make it real
I don't wanna say
'Cause then it will make me feel again
Draw strings to the ground
So you don't take me away
Make believe fantasies
Are cruel for I can't act a summer fling

Well I tried hard forever, baby, to make it a simple task
Let's just tell the time difference, here it's five, what is it there?

Let me put you on hold
Soon I'll be back home
Maybe then you'll be gone
But let me put you on hold

It's been long enough
And I can tell you don't wanna speak
It's been long enough
That the tree has reached its peak

Forget the prayers, forget the masks
I trust somehow we've done it nicely
Build the bridges so we can sow
The last couple of hours behind the mast

Let me put you on hold
Soon I'll be back home
Maybe then you'll be gone
But let me put you on hold
