Lyrics

I can't make the damn phone ring

I'm unable to get a response when I try to call.

It's simply pathetic if I call you anymore

It feels pathetic if I attempt to contact you again.

I can't figure it now

I can't understand the situation now.

We tallied our scores I got knocked out

After evaluating our relationship, I feel defeated.


I know when you come to town

I'm aware of your visits to town.

I know where you drop your dime and whom it's for I'm not good enough to time your cup of coffee 15 years...

I know where you spend your time and who you spend it on. I'm not important enough to share a moment like having coffee after 15 years.

Was long enough

Time has passed significantly.


Look at me.

Take a look at me.

I'm an old colleague

I'm like an old friend or acquaintance.

Another hard knocks day acquaintance

I've experienced tough times just like you.

Finally you are free of me

Finally, you are no longer bound to me.


It must be true or you'd give a minute

It seems true because you don't spare a moment for me.

But it's always my fault

Blaming myself seems to be the norm.

Always it's your forgiveness

Forgiveness always seems to come from your side.

This unbalanced resolve

There's an imbalance in the resolution of our issues.


I must be hateful

I must be perceived as someone full of hate or resentment.

So I hang up the phone

As a result, I decide to end the call.

Call it a small sacrifice

Considering it as a small sacrifice.

You still hear me now

But you can still hear me despite hanging up.


Dear you, the vinyl it was blue

Referencing a memory related to a blue vinyl.

Stalking poor Blake commiserating drunks at sea

Recalling an incident involving empathizing with someone named Blake who was struggling with alcohol at sea.

Do you remember when Jawbreaker rocked "The boat"? I'm sure you do...and don't

Remembering a time when the band Jawbreaker had an impact, unsure of your precise feelings about it.

Look at me.

Reflect on me.


I'm an old fly buddy

I'm like an old travel companion.

Just a blue coach class acquaintance

I'm just an acquaintance from a past journey.

Finally you are free of me

Finally, you're not tied to me anymore.

It must be true 'cause it only makes sense

It seems valid because it makes logical sense.


I can still see you now

Despite the distance, I can still visualize you.

Pictures are in every town

There are memories of you in various places.

I can still write it down "I must be hateful"

Expressing the feeling of being full of hate or resentment, leading to ending the call.

I can hang up the phone

Deciding to terminate the phone conversation.


Even at those lofty heights

Even in your elevated position or success, my influence or words still reach you.

You still hear me now

You can still perceive my message despite any differences in our statuses.
