lyrics
pick up your phone and do something
put on your shoes and get in bed
they don't fit like they did yesterday, when was yesterday
pick up your phone i've been calling you
i've been doing hard time under my sheets
and no one wants to hear anything about it
they'll ask and they'll laugh around it, but I won't
it's all the same
the echoes roll in from last year, trying to get back where they came
i didn't notice
the void at my back til i caught the moment in the mirror
why put it out there
just keep your head down
why go out
wrap your arms around yourself
and from the fetal stage, what could i ever offer?
hold yourself and rock
