Did I slip? I know I stumbled
    Did I trip? 'Cause I know I fell
    All's I know is I'll wake up here in my clothes tomorrow
    But oh, girl I wish I knew you well
    But oh, girl I wish I knew you well
    But I'm just sayin' hi, to your answering bell
    
    Did I run? I thought I was walkin'
    Through your inexhaustible gale
    The names are changed but the constellations
    Are still fallin'
    Oh girl, if you could only tell
    Oh girl, if you could only tell
    But I'm just sayin' hi
    
    Let your tears fall and touch my skin
    Then your thunderclouds could rage and wail
    I will collect them all for you in butterfly jars
    And oh girl, I'll build your wishing well
    Oh girl, I'll build your wishing well
    But I'm just sayin' hi, to your answering bell
    
    Did I sleep? 'Cause I musta been dreamin'
    Did I weep? 'Cause I cried like hell
    All's I want is your fortress of tears to crumble
    
    And oh girl, I'd tear 'em down myself
    And oh girl, the story's they could tell
    But I'm just sayin' hi
