Interpretation

I was running off
Trying not to fall
Someone said excuse me
Man, you've got a call
This voice I never heard before was on the other end

It was a telephone lady
I needed to pay my bill
She said in a soft
And open trill
I fell so hard but I knew soon she'd be gone again

Incoming isolation
Thank God for predestination
You know me, I always take it in stride

Do you wear your hair long
Or keep it short?
Do you live in Utah
Or off the coast of Cape Horn?
We could meet up on a drawbridge somewhere in between

Or hell I'll just
Come your way
Our first date could be
On the Champs-D'Elysee
Then later you can break my heart on a stranger's trampoline

Incoming isolation
Thank God for masturbation
You know me, I always take it in stride

Just let me down easy
Let me down good
I saw it coming even before you could
Let me down easy
And I'll be gone

And while I'm off on my unruly dream
You're talking about some unlimited plan
And I'm walking back
To our houseboat on the Thames
When I find you in bed with another man

I shake my head
I should have known
I walk backwards hoping
That time will come along
You say "Is there anything else that I can help you with?"

Just let me down easy
Let me down good
I saw it coming even before you could
Let me down easy
And I'll be gone

But why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you say?
Why didn't you say?

But why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you say?
Why didn't you say?

Is there anything else I can do for you?

Just let me down easy
Let me down good
I saw it coming even before you could
Let me down easy
And I'll be gone

Just let me down easy
(But why didn't you say)
Let me down good
(Something?)
I saw it coming even before you could
(Why didn't you say something?)
Let me down easy
(Why didn't you say?)
And I'll be gone
(Why didn't you say?)
Just let me down easy
(But why didn't you say)
Let me down good
(Something?)
I saw it coming even before you could
(Why didn't you say something?)
Let me down easy
(Why didn't you say?)
And I'll be gone
(Why didn't you say?)

Why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you say?
Why didn't you say?

Oh yes one more thing
Can I take one more second of your time?
Totally unrelated
Back to those first few years when we dated
Oh man what a life
Before you got faded
I quit my job we were ready for the world
Oh yes one more thing
One thing on my mind
My grandmother's ring on the fourth of July
Keep it if you like
Wear it if you may
She would have liked you better anyway

But why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you say
Something else?
