Answering Machine Songtext
von Matt Nathanson

I met a new one and she looks just like you
She gives me everything that you didn′t want to
And maybe, maybe I don't need saving after all
She sticks in my ribs almost better than you did
And maybe I′m tired or maybe she glows

And I wonder if you're still defending
And I wonder if you're still defending

I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
You′ve been so wrong for so long now

I met someone with your eyes and skin
I can convince her of anything
And baby, it′s so delicious you should
Come here and see for yourself
"I'm gone", you said, "if this is all there is...
You′ll never shine alone"

And I wonder if you're still defending
And I wonder if you′re still defending


I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
You've been so wrong for so long now

And your new anthems to breathe
And I′ve got you on my answering machine

And I've kissed others lips
And they promised me healing
It's easy if you try (just try)

And I wonder if you′re still defending
And I wonder if you′re still defending

I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
You've been so wrong for so long now

And your new anthems to breathe
And I′ve got you on my answering machine

I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
