Lyrics Answering Bell - Live at Carnegie Hall, May 14. 2022 - Ryan Adams

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

Oh, girl, I wish I knew you well
Oh, girl, I wish I knew you well
But I'm just saying hi to your answering bell

Did I run? I thought I was walking
Through your inexhaustible gale
The names were changed, but the constellations are still falling

Oh, girl, if you could only tell
Oh, girl, if you could only tell
But I'm just saying hi

Let your tears fall and touch my skin
Say 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 saying hi to your answering bell

Did I sleep? Must have been dreaming
Did I weep? 'Cause I cried like hell
All's I want is your fortress of tears to crumble

Oh, girl, I'd tear 'em down myself
And oh, girl, the stories they could tell
But I'm just saying hi to your answering bell
