[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus 1]

There's such a difference between us

And a million miles

[Chorus]

Hello from the other side

I must've 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

[Verse 2]

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?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

It's no secret

That the both of us are running out of time

[Chorus]

Hello from the other side

I must've 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

[Bridge]

Ooooohh, anymore

Ooooohh, anymore

Ooooohh, anymore

Anymore

[Chorus]

Hello from the other side

I must've 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
