It's nice to hear you say hello
And how are things with you?
I love you
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
And I'm here writing songs for you
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
I even wrote a song for you
It's strange the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you
It's strange how a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away from the feeling of being alone
That's the telephone
It's nice to hear you say hello
And how are things with you?
I love you
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
And I'm here writing songs for you
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
I even wrote a song for you
It's strange the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you
It's strange how a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away from the feeling of being alone
That's the telephone
And how are things with you?
I love you
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
And I'm here writing songs for you
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
I even wrote a song for you
It's strange the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you
It's strange how a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away from the feeling of being alone
That's the telephone
It's nice to hear you say hello
And how are things with you?
I love you
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
And I'm here writing songs for you
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
I even wrote a song for you
It's strange the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you
It's strange how a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away from the feeling of being alone
That's the telephone

Its pretty sad, though more like reality. These types of relationships happen more often than healthy loving relationships.
I think a careful rereading of the lyrics will make it clear that he is speaking about a current relationship.
" It’s nice to hear you say hello
And how are things with you?
I love you"
that sudden "I love you" after the casual conversation you'd have after a break up just makes me believe he's talking to an ex or something of that matter.
