[Verse 1] It's 12:17, rain threading down the glass Your sesame carton cooling in the paper bag I said I needed room, but baby, that was pride Now your number's on my thumb, and I can't let it slide The beige phone cord is twisted from pacing kitchen tiles Your gold hoop on the sill keeps catching light in style We made a whole production out of one small doubt I let my cool get loud and shut your good love out [Pre-Chorus] If you're downstairs, buzz 4B and take your time I left the hallway lamp on so you'll see the sign I'm done with hesitation, done apologizing Give me one more conversation worth remembering [Chorus] Pager by the sink Every little red blink keeps calling me back to you (Call me, baby) Come on through Pager by the sink Leave your number twice, I'll know that it's you (Right here, baby) [Verse 2] The elevator shudders, somebody hits my floor I smooth my satin blouse, then listen at the door It's Mrs. Green returning with her grocery cart I laugh at my reflection, hand over my heart You said my sweet apologies sound memorized So here's the plain confession, looking in my eyes The lo mein's warm again, your tea is steeping still If you can meet me easy, I can meet you real [Bridge] Look, I know what I said down by the curb. I was trying to look strong. Truth is, when that cab pulled off, I wanted to run after you. If you still got my number, use it. I'm right here in 4B. And I mean it this time. [Chorus] Pager by the sink Every little red blink keeps calling me back to you (Call me, baby) Come on through Pager by the sink Leave your number once, I'm already sure it's you (Right here, baby)
