Stay on the Phone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Turned on my TV as I'm yawning To watch the local tragedies of the morning Brushed it off and rushed out the door Thanked myself I didn't swallow anymore of that Hypocritical barely analytical excuse of giving us a warning [Chorus] To stay on the phone Text me when you're home It's still a daily mantra they don't put it past you to question it anymore So stay on the line You're half cut it's three at night It's still a daily mantra for girls living in the city at night [Verse 2] Walked down the pavement feeling eyes burn Flaming scars through her t-shirt Flashbacks to what they said on the news The new named face god she looked just like you But I keep walking what else could we do Next to be victimized lucky to keep their lives I'm terrified they say we didn't do things right And you wonder why we keep it inside [Chorus] To stay on the phone Text me when you're home It's still a daily mantra they don't put it past you to question it anymore So stay on the line You're half cut it's three at night It's still a daily mantra for girls living in the city at night
