Second Ring

Chorus

You pick up on the second ring

I never learned to say the right thing

So I just breathe and let the piano talk

Every road I walked kept leading back

Kept leading back to you

Verse 1

Rain on the window makes the quiet loud

I count the cracks in the ceiling

Wrote your name on a foggy pane

Then wiped it off like it never happened

Two in the morning and I'm still awake

Scrolling through a summer that we can't get back

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm too proud to call

Maybe you're too far to hear

Maybe we're a door left open

Chorus

You pick up on the second ring

I never learned to say the right thing

So I just breathe and let the piano talk

Every road I walked kept leading back

Kept leading back to you

Verse 2

I keep your hoodie in the bottom drawer

It doesn't smell like you no more

Small talk with my friends about the weather

Nobody asks and I don't tell them

I'm fine

I'm fine

I'm lying through my teeth again

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm too scared to stay

Maybe you're too tired to try

Maybe love just goes this way

Chorus

You pick up on the second ring

I never learned to say the right thing

So I just breathe and let the piano talk

Every road I walked kept leading back

Kept leading back to you

Bridge

Tell me did it hurt you too

Tell me was it hard to leave

Tell me something I can hold

When the nights get cold and long

Chorus

You pick up on the second ring

I never learned to say the right thing

So I just breathe and let the piano talk

Every road I walked kept leading back

Kept leading back to you

Outro

Second ring

Second ring

Back to you
