You pick up the phone
Tell me that you're so alone
And you don't feel like living today

I put the coffee on
It's gonna be a long, long night
But maybe this will be the night
When the dam breaks

You let me in and you shoo-ed me out
I wanna help you but I don't know how

To reach you, I wish I could breach you
I'm doing all that I can, I'm trying to understand
I'm outside of the fire, holding out my hand
Trying to reach you, oh

You hang on to the ledge
Like it's your best friend
I'd like pull you in from
Out of the rain, out of the pain

But I can't reach you, I wish I could breach you
I'm doing all that I can, I'm trying to understand
I'm outside of the fire, holding out my hand
Trying to reach you

It's like you turned out the lights
And I'm walking in the dark
Just trying to get to where you
Oh where you are

I'm just trying to reach you
'Cause I don't wanna lose you
Oh, won't you let me get close to you?
'Cause there's nothing I won't do, no
Nothing I won't do

To reach you, I wish I could breach you
I'm doing all that I can, I'm trying to understand
I'm outside of the fire, holding out my hand
Trying to reach you

I'm just trying to reach you
I'm trying to reach you, yeah, yeah
Trying to reach you
