Answer the MF phone!
(Verse 1) I see the screen light up, it’s 3:00 AM I hit the dial, hoping you’re in One ring, two rings, then it cuts to black Straight to your voicemail, no call back I know you’re sitting there, I know you’re home Ignoring the ghost inside your phone You think you’re clever, fading into the gray But you can’t hide the debt that you didn’t pay (Chorus) Pick up the line, stop playing the game I see your shadow whenever I say your name You’re ducking the truth, you’re dodging the cost Counting the pennies while our friendship is lost I’m tired of the silence, the hollow excuse You’re running on empty, running on loose Just answer the phone, look me in the eye And tell me you’re broke, tell me a lie. (Verse 2) Saw your car parked down on 5th and Main Tried to pull over, but you pulled away in the rain You’re ghosting the creditor, ghosting a friend Over a couple of grand you refuse to extend Is your pride really worth this pathetic retreat? Walking the shadows, avoiding the street I don’t want a fight, I just want what’s mine But you’d rather vanish than stand in line. (Chorus) Pick up the line, stop playing the game I see your shadow whenever I say your name You’re ducking the truth, you’re dodging the cost Counting the pennies while our friendship is lost I’m tired of the silence, the hollow excuse You’re running on empty, running on loose Just answer the phone, look me in the eye And tell me you’re broke, tell me a lie. (Bridge) You think if you wait, the memory fades That silence is sharp, like one of your blades But I’m not forgetting, I’m keeping the score Of every un-answered knock at your door. (Guitar Solo - Melancholy and tense) (Chorus) Pick up the line, stop playing the game I see your shadow whenever I say your name You’re ducking the truth, you’re dodging the cost Counting the pennies while our friendship is lost I’m tired of the silence, the hollow excuse You’re running on empty, running on loose Just answer the phone, look me in the eye And tell me you’re broke... (Outro) Yeah, just tell me a lie. I know you’re there. (Ring... Ring...) Still nothing. (Sound of call ending)
