The Call

October 2, 2007

Girl: (6:04 a.m):
I know you're probably sleeping baby,
cuz tomorrow you've got shit to do
a new job maybe?
or another bullshit interview?
but i figured I'd just call to say that I really miss you,
and i'm sick of all these tears that are soaking and drowning all my tissues
umm...are you hearing this dude?
did I even get through?

Guy:
Sorry if I'm not saying much,
I was dead asleep
it's been another stressed out,
crazy, high pressured week
and sorry if I sound surprised,
out of touch, or out of reach
but lately with you and I, its like we never speak
you know i'd be calling you all night if it was ever up to me

Girl:
Well every time I go to call,
I pause and second guess it
I pace around the room,
over analyze, fret and stress it
then I lose my breath and have to lay down just to catch it
I even wrote you a letter, b
ut never had the guts to send it

Guy:
What u doing up, I thought you only had Mondays off?

Girl:
Yeah my schedules all screwed cuz of my fucking boss
he treats us like shit, with screaming fits, and cutting costs
I work 3 shifts, for measly tips, and spilled dumpling sauce
so I finally called in sick to get drunk up in my buddies loft

Guy:
Oh yeah what buddy? Gary, Rick, Fred?
or is it another metro sexual, over dressed meathead?
the ones that find out about our past and want me dead?
What is he there now? is he next to you drunk in your bed?
Put him on the phone, I'll put that bitch in his place!
I knew you've been drinking,
you only call when you're shitfaced!

Girl:
Woah calm down, this isnt the time or place to start shit
I only had a few glasses of wine,
and it was my girlfriends apartment
don't get all jealous and crazy till I wonder where your heart went
Plus I do what I want

Guy:
Yeah you sound like fucking Cartmen

Girl:
Well I don't ask you about those skanky sluts,
or that last loser bitch
That you took to our restaurant
and saw that movie Hitch with
All your girls are a bunch of horney, shallow, makeup infested hooters chicks
So get off my back, I don't give a shit who you're screwing, dick!

Guy:
Well my bad for acting all angry, jealous and possessive
Or compulsive and obsessive,
I just always grow so restless
when I hear your voice for breakfast

Girl:
Well I'm still wearing your necklace,
and no one else is catching my eye
And its still you I think of when I'm in bed with a guy
I just can't commit right now, and forever I tried
But if you can't be a friend, well then, I guess its goodbye......

Guy:
Look, i'm just sick of us lying like suave villains
Just please make up your mind and I'm chillin,
I just wanna relax and get stoned like Bob Dylan
instead of watching the cons fill in the blanks,
while the pros come once in an odd million

Girl:
Woah why is the room spinning?
I think I'll make some coffee

Guy:
Oh go ahead and change the subject
you drunk fucking cock tease!

Girl:
What was that? I'm losing service, baby? were you talking?

Guy:
Umm no, I didn't say anything, I think you heard me coughing

Girl:
Oh, well I wish you were here, relaxing, drinking a beer
we may not be together now, but maybe it'll be different in years.....

Guy:
Its been too long baby, too many rejections
Too many lonely nights, and unanswered questions
Too many heartbreaks, loss of sleep and indigestion
I can't just wait around,
I eventually have to learn my lesson
So what I'm saying is, I really think this is all for the best then
Baby hello? hello? Fuck! I think I lost connection

Call ended: 6:13
