[Verse 1] Panic comes in waves
Letters written every day
Jealousy's an awful thing
Let her find her way to you

[Refrain] Can I call you?
Can I call you?

[Verse 1 and Counter-Melody] Panic comes in waves, they say [Yes, and I believe it too] Letters written every day [They never bring the word of truth] Jealousy's an awful thing [It's easier than sitting still] Let her find her way to you [I can't be sure she ever will] [Refrain and Counter-Chorus] Can I call you? [How's the weather been?] Can I call you? [Hope you're keeping warm] Can I call you? [When are you home again?] Can I call you? [Don't you remember?] Can I call you? [Things are going well] Can I call you? [You sound happy] Can I call you? [What are you drinking?] Can I call you? [Who's there with you?] [Verse 2 and Counter-Melody] Try to spend some time alone (It seems that's all I ever do)
Learn to love your solitude (I just don't know what that means)
You gotta push her to the edge (No-ooh!)
She's your lover, she's your friend (She's my lover, she's my friend)

[Refrain and Counter-Chorus] Can I call you? (How's the weather been?)
Can I call you? (I hope you're keeping warm)
Can I call you? (When are you home again)
Can I call you? (Don't you remember?)
Can I call you? (Things are going well)
Can I call you? (You sound happy)
Can I call you? (She's my lover, she's my friend)
Can I call you? (She's my lover, she's my friend)
