lyrics

(four rings)

Eleven at night in February and I could not stop it
And I went through two hundred names and every one was wrong
And I rang the only number I have never had to look up
And she picked up in four rings and she had been asleep since nine

Four rings (four rings)
She was asleep, four rings
And she picked up, four rings
Four rings

Four rings, four rings, four rings, four rings
Two hundred contacts and one number that always answers
Four rings, four rings, four rings, four rings
And she talked till two and got up at six as usual

She has never once mentioned it. Not a word since February.
No follow-up text, no checking in, no "how are you now."
Because mentioning it would make it a thing I owed her for.
(BASS RETURNS)

Four rings, four rings, four rings, four rings
Two hundred contacts and one number that always answers
Four rings, four rings, four rings, four rings
And she talked till two and got up at six as usual

(four rings...)
