Anyways,
I hope this finds you somehow,
And isn’t bouncing around,
Four empty walls right now, yeah.
Do my words reach you?
Will my voice crack?
I only hope that,
You’ll hear the play-back.

Please,
Leave a message after the tone,
Say anything,
Just don’t leave me alone.
Press one to replay,
Press two to erase,
Press three if you’re still there,
My heart can’t take the space.

Please,
Leave a message after the tone,
I keep talking but I’m all on my own, yeah.
When only silence speaks back, mmm,
It gets harder to believe,
There was ever anybody on the line with me.
Don’t leave it on your answering machine.

Hey, it’s me again,
Last one for the night,
That’s what I said before,
But I never got it right.
Cigarette ash on my coat,
And rain in my shoes,
I’ve got nothing worth saying,
But I’m saying it to you.

Anyways,
The tape might be full,
So if this cuts off early,
Well, maybe that’s good.
I’ve said too much already,
But also not enough,
If this thing can hear me,
Then where have you been?

Please,
Leave a message after the tone,
Say anything,
Just don’t leave me alone.
Press one to replay,
Press two to erase,
Press three if you’re still there,
My heart can’t take the space.

Do you even notice,
The little red light blink?
Or does it blend into your background,
Like everything else,
That reminds you of me?
All I want is a moment,
Just to hear you speak,
I’ll keep feeding quarters to a ghost,
Even if every call goes to,
Your answering machine.

Please,
Leave a message after the tone,
Say anything,
Just don’t leave me alone.
Press one to replay,
Press two to erase,
Press three if you’re still there,
My heart can’t take the space.

Please,
Leave a message after the tone,
Or just call me when you get home, yeah.
I hope to hear you speak back, mmm,
Like how we used to be,
There was never any doubt you're on the line with me.
So baby, please.
Don’t leave it on your answering machine.

Hey, it’s me again, Yeah, I know how that sounds, Like a fool with a quarter, And nowhere to go now.
