Long Time Caller, First Time Listener

I needed to be more sure of myself and of you
I let my doubt and insecurities drive me
I should've realized you weren't going anywhere
That you would stand by your word
And always be here

You came bearing stress and regret
Memories you wish you could forget
But I have nothing to give back
Than poor trade attempts

It wasn't until our trip down south
That I saw what it meant to be there for you
Echoing your concerns

Undeserving of past dictation
You've given more of yourself than you could ever afford
Anyone would be lucky to have you
I considered myself one of them

So here I am
Long time caller, first time listener
Hello, can you hear me
So here I am
Long time caller, first time listener
Hello, can you hear me
So here I am
Long time caller, first time listener
Hello, can you hear me

The product of your influence
I've longed for the chance to prove my self worth
But we know too much now
Maybe we're better off

Long time caller, first time listener
Are you there
Can you hear me
