Jimmy Buffett, Will Jennings, Michael Utley
There are oceans of feelings between us
Currents that take us and sweep us away
That's why we seldom have seen us
In the light of a cold hard dayLots of new friends with the same old answers
Open your eyes, you might see
Of our lives were that simple
We'd live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring, it's meIf the phone doesn't ring
You'll know that it's me
I'll be out in the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn't ring
You'll know that I'll be
Where someone can make me feel warm
It's too bad we can't turn
And live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring, it's meI've had good days and bad days
And going half mad days
I try to let go but you're still on my mind
I've lost all the old ways
I'm searching for new plays
Putting it all on the lineLots of new friends with the same old problems
Open your eyes, you might see
If our lives were that simple
We'd live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring, it's meIf it takes all the future
We'll live through the past
If the phone doesn't ring, it's me
