[offset:0]
[00:01.75]
[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 f**ked
[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 f**k uses a pay phone "
