A heartbeat in a wrong place, keeping time alone Static on the receiver, please pick up the phone I’m tracing lines in the dark, watching the ceiling bleed Chasing a ghost of a feeling that I no longer need You left your shadow on my mattress Now I’m just sleeping in the blank space And the clock just spins, but the room stays still Yeah, the clock just spins, against my will Falling backwards into the same routine We draw a perfect circle just to watch it break How many versions of us did it take? To realize we’re running laps in a burning room Yeah, we draw a perfect circle just to end too soon End too soon... pick up the phone... Cigarette ash falling slow on the hardwood floor I don’t even remember what we were fighting for Just a modern tragedy wrapped in a pretty melody You’re a thousand miles away, sitting right next to me Stuck in the undertow Static screaming louder through the wire We built a castle just to set it on fire Are you even there? Or am I talking to the air? Disconnect the line, pull me out of this despair Can you hear me? Are you there? We draw a perfect circle just to watch it break How many versions of us did it take? To realize we’re running laps in a burning room Yeah, we draw a perfect circle just to end too soon A heartbeat in a wrong place... Why won't you answer? Please pick up the phone... Just a dial tone.
