Baseline Cleared

[Verse 1] I looked at my phone again Then the dead bars looked back Thomas saw it too “No SIM, I suppose” He held out his Motorola Android, plain and bare “No iMessage for Michael Just a normal call there” [Pre-Chorus] Plus one Then the ten digits My thumb shook once Then fixed it I did not know the number Of course I didn’t know He was a contact Never digits to show [Chorus] No one thinks I’m trafficked (No one thinks I’m trafficked) Baseline cleared Baseline cleared Call home, call home On a borrowed machine No one thinks I’m trafficked (No one thinks I’m trafficked) In Rotterdam I can breathe [Verse 2] Ring once Ring twice He missed me at first That tracked Unknown number on the screen Would not break his guard I tried again Then a click And there he was, loud and hard [Pre-Chorus] Hi, Michael It’s me, Gabi No, I’m not being kidnapped A proof? Don’t forget to feed Theodor That line cracked the trap Then Susan, then Michael The names all spun and changed [Chorus] No one thinks I’m trafficked (No one thinks I’m trafficked) Baseline cleared Baseline cleared Call home, call home On a borrowed machine No one thinks I’m trafficked (No one thinks I’m trafficked) In Rotterdam I can breathe [Bridge] Yes, Susan, I’m fine Yes, Michael, the polo philosopher Please tell Mariain everything is okay Right, guys, I’ll call you back from Estonia Yes, that’s Eastern Europe No, this is not a trafficking ring I don’t know yet I’ll figure it out [Final Chorus] No one thinks I’m trafficked (No one thinks I’m trafficked) Baseline cleared Baseline cleared Call home, call home On a borrowed machine No one thinks I’m trafficked (No one thinks I’m trafficked) Five days left And Rotterdam feels real
