zibom - angel on the telephone Lyrics

He said hun come over here
There's someone I'd like you to meet
Remember when I missed the water bill
But your dad was in line and bought you groceries?
Or when that accident stopped us
From speeding to the lawyer's office?
He said let me introduce you babe
To the reason you're still standing here
The one who spilled your pills in that sewer in Manhattan
And talked you down from that Santa Cruz pier
You might resent the rescues now
Regret your path and wonder how
It coulda shoulda been different
But just give me one more second
I got your angel on the telephone
Ask her why you're still breathing
If you're trapped in this one instance of this one existence
Until you die
(or are you dreaming?)
Cuz after thirty years of heaving
You have stopped believing in
The saltwater that drowns your eyes
You can't trust it
And the dull pain that floods the night
Has made you rusty sharp and caustic
Your guardian has let you fall
But not too far
(not too far)
You might resent the rescues now
Regret your path and wonder how
It coulda shoulda been different
But just give me one more second
I got your angel on the telephone
Ask her why you're still breathing
If you're trapped in this one instance of this one existence
Until you die
(Or are you dreaming?)
(Dreaming)
Cuz after thirty years of heaving
You have stopped believing in yourself
(You're still breathing)
(Breathing)
There's a reason why you're still breathing
A power in this instance of sweet indifference
You're running blind as the sun is rising
After all that you've been given
Don't you stop believing in the sun
