Disconnected
Love's Line Interrupted: A Tale of Disconnected Hearts
Lyrics
I was down to my last quarter
I had only one quarter left
Trying to get her on the line
Attempting to call her
That greedy old pay phone
The payphone demanded an additional dime
Wanted one more dime
The payphone required more money to proceed
And so I called connect
I dialed the number, hoping she would answer
And crossed my fingers, praying she was in
Optimistically hoping she would respond
But when she found out
When she realized it was me calling
It was me on the other end
I was on the other end of the line
I heard, click, disconnected
The call got disconnected
The charges aren't accepted
The call couldn't go through due to payment issues
Your call is being rejected
The call was rejected
This is worse than I expected
The situation was worse than anticipated
That storm last night tore down all the lines
A metaphorical storm disrupted our connection
That ran between her little heart and mine
Emphasizing the emotional distance between us
It went click, disconnected
The call was disconnected again
Operator, do you think we can give it one more try
Asking the operator for another chance to connect
I'm not sure the first time we got the number right
Uncertain if the number was correct previously
And this time when you tell her my name, would you tell her I'm sorry too
Requesting the operator to convey an apology
I heard the operator pleading my case, it wasn't any use
The operator tried but failed to help
I still heard click, disconnected
The call got disconnected once more
The charges aren't accepted
Payment issues persisted
Your call is being rejected
The call continued to be rejected
This is worse than I expected
The situation worsened further
That storm last night tore down all the lines
Reiterating the disruption caused by the storm
That ran between her little heart and mine
Highlighting the emotional separation
It went click, disconnected
The call failed again
Oh and it's ripping apart my whole world
Feeling devastated by the situation
Disconnected, somehow I've gotta reach that girl
Expressing the need to reconnect with her
That storm last night tore down all the lines
Repeating the impact of the storm on their relationship
That ran between her little heart and mine
Emphasizing the distance between their hearts
It went, click
Reaffirming the call's disconnection
