2 AM and a Half-Dead Phone

Intro

Yeah

It's 2 AM again

Guess you ain't answering

Hell, I don't blame you

Verse 1

Your name lights up the screen in my dreams

I wake up reaching for what used to be

Got a half-dead phone and a head full of doubt

And a thousand damn words I can't get out

Your friends say you're doing just fine

While I'm burning up another Friday night

I drive past the place where we used to meet

With your old favorite song coming through the speakers

Pre-Chorus

I should've said what I meant back then

Should've been a better man

Now I'm talking to a dial tone

In a house that don't feel like home

Chorus

Straight to voicemail, same old story

I'm still stuck here, you're moving forward

Got your last goodbye running through my head

And a hundred things I wish I'd said

I let it ring till the silence came

Still got your number, still know your name

You ain't coming back, and I know damn well

But I keep calling straight to voicemail

Verse 2

There's a dent in the wall by the bedroom door

And your boots ain't sitting on the hardwood floor

Your coffee cup's gone, your picture's turned down

Funny how a little place can feel so damn empty now

My buddies say I'm wasting my time

That a girl like you ain't changing your mind

Maybe they're right, maybe I'm a fool

For still seeing forever when I think of you

Pre-Chorus

I should've listened when you said you're done

Instead of acting like I was the one

Who had nothing left to lose

Now I'm losing sleep over losing you

Chorus

Straight to voicemail, same old story

I'm still stuck here, you're moving forward

Got your last goodbye running through my head

And a hundred things I wish I'd said

I let it ring till the silence came

Still got your number, still know your name

You ain't coming back, and I know damn well

But I keep calling straight to voicemail

Bridge

Maybe one day I'll delete your number

Maybe these nights won't hit so hard

Maybe I'll laugh about this whole damn summer

And quit looking for you in every car

But tonight that old guitar's still crying

And this cold beer ain't fixing a thing

There's a thousand words that I keep hiding

And your voice is the only one I need

Final Chorus

Straight to voicemail, same old story

You're somewhere out there, I'm stuck in the morning

Got your last goodbye running through my head

And all those promises we never kept

I let it ring till the silence came

Still got your number, still know your name

You ain't coming back, and I know damn well

I'm just another call you won't answer yourself

Outro

Yeah

Straight to voicemail

One last time

Then I'll leave you alone

At least I'll try
