lyrics

At Kallio market, the oranges sat cold

My phone lit up once, then went dark in my palm

Nine seventeen, I counted the tiles on the floor

Your name stayed on mute, like a coin in my palm

I left the kettle on

The water went thin

Your boots by the door

Still wet from the rain

I watched the red dots

Fade off the screen

And the room held its breath

Like it knew what you mean

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

The line went dead

And the bed stayed wide

No call tonight

No call tonight

At Itäkeskus, I bought bread and black tea

The clerk stacked receipts with a thumb and a ring

Back home, your scarf on the chair by the sink

I folded it slow, then let the phone sing

I checked the clock

At ten forty-four

The hallway lamp buzzed

Like it wanted more

Your last little text

Sat under my thumb

And the silence arrived

Before I was done

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

The line went dead

And the bed stayed wide

No call tonight

No call tonight

At Kaisaniemi, the buses hissed past

I stood by the glass with my keys in my fist

A tram by the bridge threw its white-yellow blur

I learned how a goodbye can happen like this

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

No call tonight

The line went dead

And the bed stayed wide

No call tonight

No call tonight
