[00:07.55]Hey
[00:07.78]
[00:15.31]A Hundreds of stories
[00:16.48]
[00:17.10]Before I showed up
[00:18.23]
[00:18.96]They'd tell them to me
[00:20.27]
[00:20.82]And pull photos up
[00:21.96]
[00:22.71]They're all connected
[00:24.46]Like a pair of handcuffs
[00:25.81]
[00:26.35]No one seemed affected
[00:27.62]
[00:28.26]That everyone is ******
[00:29.42]
[00:30.16]But there was a softness
[00:31.59]
[00:32.11]Some kind of understanding
[00:33.41]
[00:33.96]Those 2am decisions
[00:35.20]
[00:35.77]Always shaky landings
[00:37.09]
[00:37.73]And no one ever knew
[00:39.04]
[00:39.59]What could be demanded
[00:41.04]
[00:41.76]Maybe it's the cards
[00:43.42]The cards that she was handed
[00:45.18]
[00:46.17]You called me up from a pay phone
[00:49.08]
[00:49.87]I said "Hang tight I can drive you home"
[00:53.68]I pulled on up and with a southern accent
[00:56.84]
[00:57.45]I offered you my dad's leather jacket
[01:00.70]
[01:07.73]I met her at a party
[01:08.94]
[01:09.50]She'd come straight from work
[01:10.85]
[01:11.45]Complained that the regulars
[01:13.38]Were all a bunch of jerks
[01:14.62]
[01:15.16]She always looked tired
[01:17.03]But she dazzled as a drunk
[01:18.92]She even pulled off
[01:20.18]
[01:20.76]That stupid hair cut
[01:22.27]She said "I don't need a sponsor
[01:23.97]
[01:24.56]Or the best lover
[01:25.88]
[01:26.42]Just a man that sees me
[01:27.69]
[01:28.24]As some fixer-upper
[01:30.16]The last few years
[01:31.49]That I've been running for cover
[01:33.37]
[01:34.14]Trying to sleep
[01:35.44]So I can visit my mother"
[01:37.05]
[01:38.72]You called me up from a pay phone
[01:41.33]
[01:42.40]I said "Hang tight I can drive you home"
[01:46.16]I pulled on up and with a southern accent
[01:49.89]I offered you my dad's leather jacket
[01:53.70]When times were tough in the worst years
[01:57.37]We never knew how to interfere
[02:01.13]And now you're back
[02:02.34]
[02:03.03]And just unpacking
[02:04.23]
[02:04.97]Those bruised up takers
[02:06.09]
[02:06.67]You keep attracting
[02:08.31]
[02:14.87]In September
[02:15.95]
[02:16.62]When it goes off
[02:18.00]
[02:18.51]Like some god damn
[02:19.94]
[02:20.62]Alarm clock
[02:21.71]
[02:22.26]And he hits her
[02:23.57]
[02:24.11]Like a third shot
[02:25.37]
[02:25.98]Conversations she just stares off
[02:29.25]
[02:29.78]There's no longer a voice calling
[02:32.94]
[02:33.45]When she goes out
[02:34.73]
[02:35.32]Saying "I'll be up waiting for you"
[02:38.03]
[02:46.25]You called me up from a pay phone
[02:49.07]
[02:49.91]I said "Hang tight I can drive you home"
[02:53.12]
[02:53.68]I pulled on up and with a southern accent
[02:57.41]I offered you my dad's leather jacket
[03:01.10]When times were tough in the worst years
[03:04.04]
[03:04.84]We never knew how to interfere
[03:08.07]
[03:08.62]And now you're back
[03:09.81]
[03:10.43]And just unpacking
[03:12.41]Those bruised up takers
[03:13.65]
[03:14.20]You keep attracting
[03:16.21]You call me up from a pay phone
[03:19.20]
[03:23.72]You call me up from a pay phone
[03:26.64]
[03:31.25]You call me up from a pay phone
[03:34.51]
[03:38.69]You call me up from a pay phone
[03:41.87]And I said "Who the **** uses a pay phone "
