[Intro - sung hook, full energy] [Female lead sings the hook on the very first beat] Baby, won't you phone home from space? [Verse 1 - punchy] [Bouncy, bright, conversational lead] First of October, four lights went up I waved you off with lipstick on my cup Kissed your picture on the dish Said hello world and made a wish [Pre-Chorus - build] [Rising, harmonies creeping in] Each night on the roof, I hold the line Each night I'm dialling up the sky [Chorus - full energy] [Big stacked harmonies, euphoric lift] Baby, won't you phone home? You're in orbit, I'm spinning round Baby, won't you phone home? Holding the line down on the ground [Post-Chorus - stacked sung harmonies] [Stacked sung harmonies, female lead on top, disco hi-hats] Phone home, phone home [Verse 2 - punchy] [Same groove, a little more restless] Weeks of static bouncing off the walls Girls say boys in orbit never call Cold coffee in my lipstick cup Said "you up?"... you were literally up [Chorus - full energy] [Same title lines, sung as a plea] Baby, won't you phone home? Only static, not a sound Baby, won't you phone home? Still holding the line on the ground [Breakdown - stripped] [Voice and soft keys only, intimate] [Silence after 'nothing'] [Last line spoken, not sung, over one held chord, no drums] I said hello world... the world said nothing Then one little beep... from way up there I waited all October for seventeen syllables [Final Chorus - key change, biggest] [Key change up, full stacked harmonies, joyful] Baby, won't you phone home? Baby, you phoned home! Wrote me a haiku, sweetest sound Your girl's floating off the ground [Outro - sung hook] [Lead alone, warm, final held note, loops to intro] Baby, won't you phone home from space?
