lyrics

Are you at home tonight?
Are you alone tonight?
Can I convince you to
pick up your phone tonight?
The mountain between you and me
always gets climbed
3 steps at a time.

I gotta catch a bus
and then I take a train,
then I walk a mile for you
to get to your door.

First I try the bell,
then I knock a while.
Finally, I call up to you.
You're on the third floor.
I can't take it anymore.

Thursday you've got school.
Friday you've got work.
Saturday I've got a gig,
but Sunday's okay.

First you'll tell me "No"
and then that you're not sure.
Finally, you break out the "Yes"
What stands in your way?
Tell me why it's so damn hard to say?

The summit's been reached,
I break my stride.
But I can't plant my flag,
'cause you're halfway down the other side.
Here we go, another slide. . . (guitar)

Are you at home tonight?
Are you alone tonight?
Can I convince you to
pick up your phone tonight?
The mountain between you and me
always gets climbed
3 steps at a time.
