[Verse]
I would walk to the gas station on the corner
That’s where we would talk on the payphone
I lucked out because the phone would repay me
Missing you and being eager to get home
I am back in Empire remembering the day
When we would talk for hours at a time
Now I’m feeling all the emotions I felt
Back over 30 years ago when you were mine
[Chorus]
Talking on the broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Hours on a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Your voice on a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Love over a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
These emotions I am feeling deep inside
Are wonderful and joyful, pleasant and surreal
These were the positive aspects of our love
That we were abundantly blessed to feel
We had a love that had never been felt before
We were still so young, we were wild and free
Our relationship was forever by the promise made
My love belonged to you and yours belonged to me
[Chorus]
Talking on the broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Hours on a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Your voice on a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Love over a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Talking on the broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Hours on a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Your voice on a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Love over a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Here I am today, I am staring at an empty space
I am where a broken payphone used to exist
Memories now shattered and gone far away
Yet deep inside my heart, my love still persists
I came all this way in hopes to call one more time
But just like now, there is no possible way
The broken payphone is now gone for good
And these final words I can no longer say
Talking on the broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Hours on a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Your voice on a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
Love over a broken payphone (missing you missing me)
…… Talking on the broken payphone (missing you missing me) ……
