lyrics
3:04, my screen lights blue Cold cup on the sink, I’m calling you The kettle ticks once in the near dark hall You pick up on the second ring, that’s all Your voice comes rough, like sleep in your throat I hear your car keys in the coat I’m on the rug by the front door mat You say, “Talk to me,” and I lean right back Second ring, second ring You always take the second ring Second ring, second ring My name sounds better on your ring Second ring, second ring You always take the second ring Second ring, second ring You answer there on the second ring Mt Eden rain on the letterbox lid My slippers by the bed, still where I slid You laugh through static, then you go still Like a hand on my shoulder, steady and real Second ring, second ring You always take the second ring Second ring, second ring My name sounds better on your ring Second ring, second ring You always take the second ring Second ring, second ring You answer there on the second ring When the room gets small and the ceiling leans low You don’t ask why, you just say, “Tell me so” Across the miles from the harbour to the shore You stay awake, you stay on the line, you stay for more Second ring, second ring You always take the second ring Second ring, second ring My name sounds better on your ring Second ring, second ring You always take the second ring Second ring, second ring You answer there on the second ring
