lyrics
On a Tuesday off 12, my screen lit blue Front porch fan still spun, the whole house through My thumb shook hard as I called on through You picked up halfway between ring one and two I said, "You up?" and you said, "Yeah, I know" With sleep still dragged across your words so slow No big speech, no questions, just that low Same old answer when I need a place to go Second ring, second ring You always answer, second ring Second ring, second ring You’re there for me on second ring By the sink sat a mug and a folded note My boots by the door, my truck half-choked I paced that tile in my socks and spoke You said, "Come by," like it was no joke You kept one ear on the baby monitor I heard your dishwasher hum in the background blur You said, "Honey, breathe, I’m still right here" And made that dark little hour feel clear Second ring, second ring You always answer, second ring Second ring, second ring You’re there for me on second ring If I’m on Millview with a cracked taillight If I’m parked up crying in my driveway light You don’t ask why, you just say, "All right" Then leave your porch light on for me tonight Second ring, second ring You always answer, second ring Second ring, second ring You’re there for me on second ring
