Communications Breakdown

I received your message a little too late Somethin musta told me you wouldn’t wait
I hurried in the night air I drove until dawn
I asked around everywhere but you were already gone Already gone
It was a breakdown in communications all down the line Breakdown in communications this time
Always meant to tell ya I wanted you the most
I thought I had your signal but I was pickin up a ghost Now the telephone’s an echo in an empty flat
I don’t wanna let go but I don’t know where you’re at Where you’re at
It was a breakdown in communications all down the line Breakdown in communications this time
Musta been a blizzard on the other side of town Lightnin in the main grid All the lines are down Wanna try the grapevine Even word of mouth But every rumor has it you’ve already headed south Headed south
It was a breakdown in communications all down the line Breakdown in communications this time
Breakdown Breakdown Breakdown
Breakdown
