Love on the Mainline

Captive on my Code-A-Phone was a voice that spread like light He reminds me of a mistake I used to call Baby And I ate it up like an ice cream cone and willed him to be right And built a dream on a string of "ifs" and "maybes" But inside there is no peace My head yells run, my heart cries stay, who can I believe? Chorus: When the house divides against itself, the wrecking ball will soon prevail Still I look for love on the mainline He lives rent-free inside my head, my heart he owns outright Those lines are down and humming like live wires Still I search for common threads and I long for black and white Does wisdom ever dovetail desire? And my heart insists that he's the only one While the endless loop inside my head says You know he is wrong Chorus I have wasted too much time trying to bridge the gap between heart and mind When the signs say very clearly Broken Mainline Bride: What makes me think I can drive when I've tested blind I do much better walking slow by faith And how come I would trust a man who took me for a ride How long will I have to learn the hard way Chorus
