When it's late at night
I am your agenda
When you hope to find
I'm alone

A coward's way to speak your verse
A hidden message, broken words
I read out lines but the truth may hurt
I am only killing time with you

You don't understand
You don't know how I feel
And so for what it's worth
I wanna keep it real

If you dial my number
It's not enough
You can wait and wonder
If there's an "us"
And when it's dead on the line
Do you think, "The girl is mine"?
You know I'm not falling under
I'm not in love

In the depths of your mind
You think I'll surrender
When you're lost at sea
I'm on land

It's only fair I set you right
'cos what we have won't see daylight
It's just for now so enjoy the ride
I'm having fun killing time with you

You don't understand
You don't know how I feel
And so for what it's worth
I wanna keep it real

If you dial my number
It's not enough
You can wait and wonder
If there's an "us"
And when it's dead on the line
Do you think, "The girl is mine"?
You know I'm not on a number
I'm not in love

Yeah, you can dream about it
But don't believe it's real at all
