[Verse 1: Falsetto male lead, bright over the bouncing live drums] One fifteen and the phone lights up on the nightstand Her name on the screen and it nearly leaves my hand Six months gone since she packed up the car Now I'm hearing bar noise and a crooked guitar Pick it up and say hello, but there's nobody there Just a jukebox and the clink of the glasses in the air Then I hear her laughing and I hear her friend say Girl, you gotta stop talking about him every day [Pre-Chorus: Falsetto male lead] And she says I know, I know, he was the best I had Let him walk out of the door and it's driving me mad [Chorus: Falsetto male lead] Pocket dial, pocket dial Guess I'm still in your pocket after all this while You told the girls I'm the one that you never should have lost Pocket dial, and I'm on my way, whatever it costs [Verse 2: Falsetto male lead, the chiming guitars bright] I don't hang up, I'm a detective on the bedroom floor Listening for clues like a burglar at the door Jukebox playing that song from the summer at the shore Bartender yelling Dizzy, did you close out table four There's only one Dizzy pouring drinks in this whole town At the Anchor by the river where the old boats go down Grab my keys and my jacket and my hair's a disaster Never tied a pair of sneakers any faster [Pre-Chorus: Falsetto male lead] And she says I know, I know, he was the best I had Let him walk out of the door and it's driving me mad [Chorus: Falsetto male lead] Pocket dial, pocket dial Guess I'm still in your pocket after all this while You told the girls I'm the one that you never should have lost Pocket dial, and I'm on my way, whatever it costs [Bridge: Falsetto male lead, name in falsetto, he sings her name way up alone in one long breath] Rosie I heard it all, I heard it all Keep me in your pocket and I'll answer every call [Verse 3: Falsetto male lead, full band, bright and driving] Walk into the Anchor with the jukebox going strong She's sitting at the bar with her back to the song Her friend sees me first and she grabs her by the arm And she turns around slow with her phone in her palm I say you called me, and she says I didn't, no way Then she looks at the screen and her face goes pink and gray An hour and twelve minutes, still connected on the call And she covers her face and I say, I heard it all [Final Chorus: Falsetto male lead] Pocket dial, pocket dial Guess I'm still in your pocket after all this while You told the girls I'm the one that you never should have lost Pocket dial, and I'm on my way, whatever it costs [End]
