lyrics

When you call me and I'm awkward on the phone,
Sometimes I stand there afterward and listen for the tone
When we've hung up, but that's not how cell phones work
Still I stand there anyway, until my screen goes dark

It was a meditation, it kind of make me sick
To listen to the dial tone until I'd hear a click
Then a female voice recording would come on
And I'd have to hang up quick, so they wouldn't call my mom

And in the morning, you can't expect too much
But as the day wears on, if you're still out of touch,
You can call me, it's my Achilles heel
I keep my phone on vibrate, keep it where I can feel

And when she called me, I just talked about myself
As if that were natural, as if there were no one else
She wanted to talk to, or about
I just answered her questions and I got out

Now I don't hang up, I press a button marked "End"
And when I call you, it's something I "Send"
And in my real life, I listen very well
But when the phone rings, I hope they won't tell
