Ring Ring (It Calls Me)

[Verse 1] Staring at a cracked screen glow Name flashing like a bad halo I said I’d block you weeks ago But I still keep my thumb there, slow Soft buzz in the dead of night Ghost number in pale blue light Every lie that you didn’t write Still echoes in the silent fight [Pre-Chorus] Why do I wait for the tremor Why do I chase that wave You only love in the mirror I only love what I crave (yeah) [Chorus] Ring ring, it calls me Like a curse, like a way back home Every time I let it haunt me I’m alone but I don’t hang up the phone Ring ring, you drag me Through the dark where I swore I’d be free I hear your voice in the static But I know it’s just the worst of me [Verse 2] Lip print on a warm glass rim Friends talking but the sound goes dim You text, and all the room tilts slim I’m falling for a phantom limb Scrolling through our past like feeds Highlight reels and hidden needs You leave me on read till I bleed Then call when you’re the one in need [Pre-Chorus] Why do I crave the disaster Why do I beg that tone You only talk when it’s faster I only talk when I’m alone (so alone) [Chorus] Ring ring, it calls me Like a curse, like a way back home Every time I let it haunt me I’m alone but I don’t hang up the phone Ring ring, you drag me Through the dark where I swore I’d be free I hear your voice in the static But I know it’s just the worst of me [Bridge] [Choir, distant, drenched in reverb] Ring, ring, ring (leave it) Ring, ring, ring (keep it) [Soft speech-rap] Tap the screen, let it die, airplane sky, cut the wire But my pulse lights up like a code, like a choir Your number’s a spell, I’m a moth to the flare Say I’m done, then I’m there, then I’m— [Operatic vocal, soaring] Still answering the dark When it calls for my heart [Chorus] Ring ring, it calls me Like a curse, like a way back home Every time I let it haunt me I’m alone but I don’t hang up the phone Ring ring, you drag me Through the dark where I swore I’d be free I hear your voice in the static But I know it’s just the worst of me [Outro] Ring ring, it calls me (calls me) One day I’ll let it fade Tonight I keep it humming Till the sound just slips away
