Operator (That’s Not the Way It Feels) Evan Honer

Operator
Oh could you help me place this call
See the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L.A.,
With my best old ex-friend Ray
Guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated

But isn't that the way they say it goes
Well let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

Operator
Oh could you help me place this call
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about the love I thought could save me

But isn't that the way they say it goes
Let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
