Hello, it's me 
I was wondering if after all these years you'd 
like to meet 
To go over everything 
They say that time's supposed to heal ya 
But I ain't done much healing 
 
Hello, can you hear me 
I'm in California dreaming about who we used 
to be 
When we were younger and free 
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at 
our feet 
There's such a difference between us 
And a million miles 
 
Hello from the other side 
I must have called a thousand times 
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've 
done 
But when I call you never seem to be home 
Hello from the outside 
At least I can say that I've tried 
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart 
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you 
apart anymore 
 
Hello, how are you 
It's so typical of me to talk about myself I'm 
sorry 
I hope that you're well 
 
Did you ever make it out of that town where 
nothing ever happened 
It's no secret that the both of us 
Are running out of time 
 
So hello from the other side 
I must have called a thousand times 
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've 
done 
But when I call you never seem to be home 
Hello from the outside 
At least I can say that I've tried 
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart 
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you 
apart anymore 
 
[x4:] 
(Highs highs highs highs 
Lows lows lows lows) 
Anymore 
 
Hello from the other side 
I must have called a thousand times 
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've 
done 
But when I call you never seem to be home 
Hello from the outside 
At least I can say that I've tried 
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart 
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you 
apart anymore
