Call That Never Comes

[Verse 1]

Coffee gone cold

Lipstick on the rim

Your name on my screen

But it never lights again

Clock on the wall

Dragging like a chain

Street noise in the distance

Drowning out my brain

[Chorus]

I’m waiting on a call that never comes

Staring at this glow till my eyes go numb

Every little buzz sends my heart on the run

But it’s quiet

So quiet

Just me and a call that never comes

[Verse 2]

Talked myself down

Said I’d let you be

But I still jump at shadows

Like they’re you calling me

Friends say “move on”

I say “I’m fine”

Then I check that screen

For the hundredth time

[Chorus]

I’m waiting on a call that never comes

Staring at this glow till my eyes go numb

Every little buzz sends my heart on the run

But it’s quiet

So quiet

Just me and a call that never comes

[Bridge]

How did I hand you

This much control?

Dial tone silence

Filling up my soul

I should delete you

Erase what we were (yeah)

But my thumb always lingers

Where your name still burns (oh)

[Chorus]

I’m waiting on a call that never comes

Staring at this glow till my eyes go numb

Every little buzz sends my heart on the run

But it’s quiet

So quiet

Just me and a call that never comes

[Outro]

So ring me or release me

One word and I’m done

Till then I’m here in the dark

With a call that never comes
