[Intro] Boys don’t call We send a song [Verse 1] Used to waste whole evenings in a car that wouldn’t start Now a minute feels expensive. Now I wonder where you are. One of us is married. One is working out at sea. One is always online but he never talks to me. [Chorus] Boys don’t call We send a song Means, “Are you still out there?” Means, “It’s been too long” Boys don’t call Till the words won’t come If you don’t know what to say Say something dumb [Verse 2] Started typing, “How you been?” Deleted all of that Sent a dog that missed a biscuit. Got a little laughter back Could’ve said, “I miss you.” Could’ve said, “It’s getting bad” Could’ve asked about your daughter. Does she know you had a band? Funny, all the big things that we thought we’d have to say Now I’d like to hear you tell me how you wasted yesterday [Chorus] Boys don’t call We send a song Means, “Are you still out there?” Means, “It’s been too long” Boys don’t call Till the words won’t come If you don’t know what to say Say something dumb [Bridge] There’s nothing much to tell you That’s what I miss the most Not the nights we thought we’d live for Just the walk back home [Final Chorus — friends join quietly] Boys don’t call We send a song Means, “Are you still out there?” Means, “It’s been too long” Boys don’t call Till the words won’t come If you don’t know what to say Say something dumb [Outro — spoken] Fuck it. I’m ringing.
