lyrics

Three-fifteen, I’m on the edge of the bed

Screen glow blue on the cracked front pane

Your name pops up, then the line goes red

Second ring hits through the kitchen rain

I’ve got my boots by the mat in a row

Cold tea left in the chipped white mug

You answer fast like you already know

“Yeah, I’m here” through the handset buzz

Curtain twitch, hear the bin lorry roll

One ring gone, then your breath comes in

There’s a wet coat draped over my chair

And you say my name like it’s pinned to your skin

Second ring, second ring

Second ring, second ring

You always get me

Second ring, second ring

Back step slick, got a roll-up tin

Bus stop bench with the gum scars clear

You’re at the gate with your hood tucked in

One sock soaked and a split-back ear

I pace the hall while the freezer hums

You’re half a block and you’re halfway there

You don’t ask why, you just say, “I’m coming”

Second ring truth in the cold night air

Second ring, second ring

Second ring, second ring

You always get me

Second ring, second ring

Phone face down on the table now

Mugs and keys in a greasy line

If the world folds in, you call back loud

You’re that buzz cut through the line

Second ring, second ring

Second ring, second ring

You always get me

Second ring, second ring
