Running Out of Tape Lyrics

I'm nervous

I'm sorry, I'm nervous

I just really want to get this right

There's a thousand things I've wanted to say

Rephrased a million different ways

If I could, I'd perfect this all night

But I'm running out of tape now

So this take will have to work out

Just press rewind

And I'll give it one more try

I miss you

You know that I miss you

And I'm sorry this is the best that I can do

Just know that for every day it takes

For this to be shipped, opened, and played

I'll be thinking of you

But I'm running out of tape now

So these words will have to hold out

Just press rewind

And I'll sing for you one more time

But I'm running out of tape now

So these words will have to hold out

Just press rewind

And I'll sing for you one more time

(Hear my voice)

(Alexander Graham Bell)

Take as much of me as I can give

(Little Menlo, October 5th 1888; From Guiraud to Edison)

(Continuation of introduction of friends)

However grainy that may be

(I am astonished and somewhat terrified)

And if you ever fear

That there's no love left for you out here

You'll be hearing from me

(You would excuse him, he has his lucid intervals)

You'll be hearing from me

But I'm running out of tape now (Tape now)

So these words will have to hold out (Hold out)

Just press rewind

And I'll sing for you one more time

But I'm running out of tape now (Tape now)

So these words will have to hold out (Hold out)

Just press rewind

And I'll sing for you one more time

But I'm running out of tape now (Tape now)

So these words will have to hold out (Hold out)

Just press rewind

And I'll sing for you one more time

(And I congratulate you with all my heart on this wonderful discovery)
