lyrics

Your denim jacket hangs on my chair

At the South Congress taqueria bar

I left two texts in the cold blue air

At one-twelve, under a paper cup scar

Your road atlas folded by the sink

Your thumbprint still on my truck key ring

I stood by the window, tried not to think

About a phone that wouldn't sing

I heard the dryer knock in the hall

A train rolled past on the southbound line

I watched that red light crawl and fall

Then I knew your silence was a sign

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

I let the screen go black

I found your receipt in my coat

Cold queso, two beers, and a lime

Your side of the booth still held your note

"Back Sunday" wrote in a tilted line

By midnight, the ice had melted flat

My keys sat dead by the coffee can

I kept hearing your laugh in the hallway mat

But the door stayed shut, as if it planned

I heard the dryer knock in the hall

A train rolled past on the southbound line

I watched that red light crawl and fall

Then I knew your silence was a sign

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

I let the screen go black

At first light, I drove past your exit sign

Past the pawn shop, past the bakery door

No new words came, no line to find

Just your name on my dash, then nothing more

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

I let the screen go black
