i'd break the cord off of the phone
and tell you that I haven't even been home
I'd flip the switch down and off
and smash the pillows until their soft
only if it'd ease your mind.

i wouldn't stop to get gas at night
and i'd only walk the sidewalk on the inside
I'd take my shoes off at the door
and I'd promise to call when I get home
only if it'd ease your mind.

id scrunch my nose and pout my bottom lip
and say all those words I can't forget
I'd add a syllable to every word
I can't help but make you laugh but
only if it'd ease your mind.
