long-distance melodies

there are too many words that we can say 

spoken over long-distance melodies 

casual greetings turn to breathless goodbyes 

 while you ponder, your heart wanders 

forgiveness spread thick like honey on bread 

washed down with truth and reasoning 

for what you put in and I got out 

zero credits in that account

there are too many words that we can say 

spoken over long-distance melodies 

a call that drops without return
