Second ring, second ring
Chaos finds her and she surfs it; permanently sandy, permanently optimistic

lyrics
You answer on the second ring, pajama cuff and red phone glow My notebook's open on the desk, your name lights up like sugar on my throat I'm counting Muni turns in my head, you say, "Yeah, I know" By the time the kettle clicks, you're already awake, already on the road I hear your keys by the front steps I hear your laugh through the screen You keep the spare from my bike lock You keep the worst of the dream Second ring, second ring You always pick up, second ring Second ring, second ring You always pick up, second ring And I breathe again in the dark You show up in a hoodie with salt on the sleeve from the bay Gum wrapper in your pocket, both of us barefoot in the hallway You hold my cracked phone steady while I spill orange juice on the tray Stanford quiet at four a.m., and your voice makes the whole room stay Second ring, second ring You always pick up, second ring Second ring, second ring You always pick up, second ring And I breathe again in the dark If the whole house goes still, you still know my line If my voice shakes loose, you still hit reply No perfect speech, just you and me Two rings in the dark, and I'm free Second ring, second ring You always pick up, second ring Second ring, second ring You always pick up, second ring And I breathe again in the dark
