Lyrics
Payphone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When it fell
All covering phones for weeks
When it fell
All covering heads and leaves
But you wait by the payphone
For hours at a time
I'm dying of thirst
So pass me the wine
This is only a dream
You can wake up any time you like
When you left
I couldn't escape your hands
Like before
The Moon overhead, it's yours
But you wait by the payphones
Til it starts to ring
There's a sound in your ear
And it sounds like a scream
This is only life
It's not like a dream at all
And I became so much better
Than you could have ever hoped to be
And I became so much better
Than you could have ever dreamed to be
When you left
When you left
When you left
When you left, oh
