Again, I Can’t Listen To Your Latest Conquest (When I Am An Abandoned City)
My phone keeps on ringing,
It’s the bad generic beat,
That makes me hate myself
The morning in the sunlight,
All of us just laugh together,
But at night, tonight, I won’t answer your call
The cacophony ends and I am left with guilt
It’s just a simple thing, such a simple thing,
That I do all wrong
Because if I hear it again,
I know you don’t mean to, it’s just what we do
But yet again, again
My phone keeps on ringing,
I know you count each one,
Sound cutting off, seeing how stupid I am
I know it’s nothing really
Half-hearted pointless thought
But again, again I wish I didn’t feel this way
The middle of the day,
Laying under trees talking,
But this night, tonight, I won’t be able to stop myself from thinking
Pity, such a pity,
When I start pitying myself
Wrapped in that tapestry we wove of hopeless dreams
I’ll hear it again, again
The faces change, the places changes,
Love is still the same
My phone keeps on ringing,
My inability to be friends
Keeping me from answering
The film settles over my eyes
Made of unspoken sighs
I don’t want to have to lie
