[Lupe]
2
I just need a minute to replenish who I am
3
(And who I am is so dependent on exactly where we stand..)
4
I stand in any pose, anything but tippy-toes
5
Don't want you to feel smaller, always taller
6
Now I'm a cheerleader, she a baller
7
The difference in height isn't aight
8
I left my ego at the alter
9
Now every ring's a sting and everything I taught ya
10
Is coming back around to me, just like revolvers
11
And every single click is just hammering it home
12
Who knew Russian roulette involved answering the phone?
13
Until my signal dwindles or my channel is in roam
14
Or my cellphone dies or it's cancer in my dome
15
And dear nix the tone, as I pull my fuckin' pain out
16
One of your short nodes, might blow my fuckin' brains out
17
But you ain't even pick up, talking to myself
18
Exactly what you sick of...!
19
Feeling kinda restless, did you get my message?
20
It's swirling around and so
21
No, don't tell me that you care
22
When I know you're standing there
23
I left the story of my life on your answering machine
24
[Hook]
25
Hello, can you hear me?
26
Hello, are you there?
27
Hello, would you pick up the phone?
28
Hello, can you hear me?
29
Hello, are you there?
30
Hello, would you pick up the fuckin' phone!?
31
We were like, if a tree falls in the forest and
32
No one is around, does it really make a sound?
33
That's romantic and profound, but now
34
We're like lumberjacks holding the axes that brung it down
35
So now on your message, talmabout "Remember?"
36
Silence in return, that sound like 'Timber!"
37
There's some that can't see the forest because they're liars
38
But I can't see the forest cause of the fire
39
And in our prehistorics, the flowers was rooting for us
40
Brontosaurus ate the flowers, T-Rex ate the Brontosaurus
41
And then the T-Rex turned around and ate the florist
42
That's why I lost my FTD endorsements
43
But that's really not important
44
My sadness' a snitch, my melancholy informant
45
Despair wears a wire, my longing rapping a song
46
My worry is a rat, my lonely tapping the phone
47
Feeling kinda restless, did you get my message?
48
It's swirling around and so
49
I wanna give you reasons
50
Tell you what I'm feeling
51
But none of these lines are secure
52
No, don't tell me that you care
53
When I know you're standing there
54
I left the story of my life on your answering machine
55
My tears run off your shoes
56
Like waters from a goose
57
You try to wash off all the dirt
58
But your hands aren't getting clean
59
Hello, can you hear me?
60
Hello, are you there?
61
Hello, would you pick up the phone?
62
Hello, can you hear me?
63
Hello, are you there?
64
Hello, would you pick up the fuckin' phone?
65
To make-believers on receivers as you sit back and observe
66
As the rubber curly cord just absorbs all my words
67
Will you collect us then connect us or neglect us on the whole
68
Into the wall, then cross the wires on the telephone poles
69
Then bounces off the towers, then up into the satellites
70
Then falls down back to Earth to bring a broken heart back to life
71
Happens all the time, lost an appetite and lack of sleep
72
If it's dead and flatten line, I'll leave a message at the beep
73
Hello, can you hear me?
74
Hello, are you there?
75
Hello, would you pick up the phone?
76
Hello, can you hear me?
77
Hello, are you there?
78
Hello, would you pick up the phone?
79
Would you pick up the phone?
80
Would you pick up the phone?
81
Would you pick up the phone?
82
(Hello, would you pick up the fuckin' phone...?)
