Answering Bell Lyrics

Ryan Adams

Did I slip? I know I stumbled
Did I trip? cause I know I fell
Alls I know is Ill wake up here in my clothes tomorrow
But oh, girl I wish I knew you well
But oh, girl I wish I knew you well
But Im just sayin hi, to your answering bell
Did I run? I thought I was walkin
Through your inexhaustible gale
The names are changed but the constellations
Are still fallin
Oh girl, if you could only tell
Oh girl, if you could only tell
But Im just sayin hi
Let your tears fall and touch my skin
Then your thunderclouds could rage and wail
I will collect them all for you in butterfly jars
And oh girl, Ill build your wishing well
Oh girl, Ill build your wishing well
But Im just sayin hi, to your answering bell
Did I sleep? cause I musta been dreamin
Did I weep? cause I cried like hell
Alls I want is your fortress of tears to crumble
And oh girl, Id tear em down myself
And oh girl, the storys they could tell
But Im just sayin hi
