I keep you in a drawer, Nokia Glow
Battery's swollen but it barely holds
Screen cracked like the night you left
I still press 1 just to hear you breathe
Today is me,
I'm probably sleeping or lost in a book
Leave your heart after the beep,
I'll call back when I wake up
I know every word,
every pause,
every laugh I played it so long it's burned in my past
5 years same ritual to 17am thumb
Have as hard stutter as I call again
I don't read messages anymore Just wait
for your ghost to say my name like before
But tonight the line clicked,
no greeting,
no you A man's voice,
sleepy and new
Hello?
And the world tilted slow
He said,
wrong number man,
soft,
polite I whisper sorry and kill the light
Your number lives in someone else's life
He probably kisses the neck I used to know
Charges his phone where your lipstick stains the coat
Maybe he speed dials your mom on Sunday
while I'm here speed dialing yesterday
I wonder if you told him
that this was once your lifeline to me
Or the numbers just flow like ash
Till somebody else catches the spark that we had
I should delete it,
let it die But deleting feels like killing you twice
So I sit in the dark,
thumb on the screen Listening to nothing where you used to be,
yeah
Yeah,
tonight the line clicked,
no greeting,
no you Just a stranger living the life we drew
He said, who's this?
I couldn't reply, I just heard you laughing
Somewhere behind his voice like your
ghost got married and never said goodbye
Your number found a happier life,
take care of her, man
She hates horror movies and cold coffee,
she dances barefoot
When she thinks no one's watching, tell her,
no,
never mind
She won't
remember the sound of me anyway
