(Intro) Uh, uh Feeling like you dreaming in the night Verse 1 It’s 2:17 and I’m awake again Staring at the ceiling like it owes me something Your name sits quiet in my recent calls Like a habit I never uninstalled I don’t miss you cleanly, I miss you in pieces In songs I skip and sentences I deleted In the way my mind rewrites what you said When I’m trying to sleep instead Pre-Chorus And I tell myself it’s over While I keep the door unlocked Chorus It’s the telephone light in the dark Blinking like it knows who we are I don’t answer, but I don’t forget Every version of you I haven’t felt yet And I swear I moved on, I swear I tried But midnight always puts you by my side And the telephone light, and the telephone light Breathes in the middle of the night And the telephone light, and the telephone light And the telephone light, and the telephone light And the telephone light, and the telephone light You come back to life Verse 2 And you told me everything would be fine But I never said I loved the idea of you Driving 120 kilometres on the government road You Lived in Oceania, learned a retarded code I saw your car in Roman Todd The street of the notorious fraud And my body reacted before I could win Like memory isn’t something I miss Should it happen that something like this (something like this) Never happens Then my telephone mind stops You don’t even have to speak my name To make the silence behave the same It bends back into what we were Like it prefers the blur Pre-Chorus And I don’t call it love anymore But it still answers for me Chorus It’s the telephone light in the dark Blinking like it knows who we are I don’t answer, but I don’t forget Every version of you I haven’t fixed yet And I swear I moved on, I swear I tried But midnight always picks your side In the telephone light, in the telephone light Breathes in the middle of the night And the telephone light, and the telephone light And the telephone light, and the telephone light And the telephone light, and the telephone light You come back to life Bridge Maybe it wasn’t meant to end Maybe it just learned to bend Into something I can’t name But still answer when I stay Final Chorus It’s the telephone light in the dark Still calling from where we are I don’t answer, but I don’t forget Every version of you I haven’t fixed yet And I swear I moved on, I swear I tried But midnight always picks your side In the telephone light, in the telephone light You come back to life I breathe in the middle of the night! (Outro) And the telephone light, (oh) and the telephone light And the telephone light, and the telephone light And the telephone light, and the telephone light Living in the chameleon fight
