Lyrics
Hey! Hundreds of stories, before I showed up And they tell them to me And pull photos up And they're all connected Like a pair of handcuffs No one seemed affected That everyone is f*cked But there was a softness Some kind of understanding Those 2am decisions Always shaky landings And no one ever knew What could be demanded Maybe it's the cards The cards that she was handed You called me up from a pay phone I said "Hang tight, I can drive you home" I pulled on up and with a southern accent I offered you my dad's leather jacket I met her at a party She'd come straight from work Complained that the regulars Were all a bunch of jerks She always looked tired But she dazzled as a drunk She even pulled off That stupid hair cut She said, "I don't need a sponsor Or the best lover Some man that sees me As some fixer-upper The last few years I've been running for cover Trying to sleep So I can visit my mother" You called me up from a pay phone I said "Hang tight, I can drive you home" I pulled on up and with a southern accent I offered you my dad's leather jacket When times were tough in the worst years We never knew how to interfere And now you're back And just unpacking Those bruised-up takers You keep attracting In September When it goes off Like some god damn Alarm clock And it hits her Like a third shot Conversations she just stares off There's no longer a voice calling When she goes out Saying, "I'll be up waiting for you" You called me up from a pay phone I said "Hang tight, I can drive you home" I pulled on up and with a southern accent I offered you my dad's leather jacket When times were tough in the worst years We never knew how to interfere And now you're back And just unpacking Those bruised-up takers You keep attracting You call me up from a pay phone You call me up from a pay phone You call me up from a pay phone You call me up from a pay phone And I said, "Who the f*ck uses a pay phone?"
