I figured all the incense we'd burned down
Had guaranteed me
A night of loving her
But then my faith and hope they deceived me
When I was almost home
There went the shaking of my phone
I should have let it ring
I think I should have let it ring, because
Come back over, she said
I think we both can be better than this
So I did, and we were
I never should have listened to her
I never should have listened to her
A simple invitation to return
Was all I had heard
So I now I look for meaning
In my lover's every word
Don't have it mastered yet
Is this as close as I might get?
To feeling in control
Cause I'm not feeling in control
Come back over, she said
I think we both can be better than this
So I did, and we were
Oh, I never should have listened to her, but I did
I never should have listened to her, no
I can't regret what I don't understand, no
But I felt myself getting right again
That old cliché about the freedom cost
We pay to love, well the meaning was lost on me
That night that she called
Come back over, she said . . .
Oh but now I'm always listening to her
Now I got to listen to her (or I try)
I never should have listened to her
