[Verse 1] Unknown number on the cracked screen One short ring splits the room in two I let it die, then watch it wake A second call comes crawling through [Pre-Chorus] My thumb hangs over the green My mouth forgets what words can mean [Chorus] Who needs me on the other end? What bad news wears a private name? I hold my breath until it stops Then hate myself for wanting it to ring again [Verse 2] The kettle clicks, the room goes still A voicemail badge turns red and small I play it once, then once again Just breathing there—no words at all [Bridge] Maybe it’s nothing Maybe it’s now Maybe I’m building a storm from a sound I turn the phone face down It keeps its silence I keep looking anyhow [Final Chorus] Who needs me on the other end? What bad news wears a private name? I hold my breath until it stops Then hate myself for wanting it to ring again [Outro] Unknown number No name No answer Still, I wait
