Don't Pick Up The Phone
Lonely Libations: A Melodic Tale of Solitude and Longing
Lyrics
I only called because I'm sitting here alone and I'm drinking
I called because I'm alone and drinking, seeking companionship.
And I need you
Expressing a need for the person being called.
I'm just drinking here alone wanna leave and
Being alone and wanting to leave to be with the person.
Come see you
Expressing the desire to come see the person.
And if I'm picking up the phone then I'm thinking
Implying that picking up the phone indicates contemplation.
I'm bout to call you
Indicating an intention to call the person.
And if you're picking up the phone then you're thinking
Suggesting that the person answering is also contemplating.
He's probably drinking alone girl don't pick up the phone
Warning the person not to pick up the phone, possibly due to emotional state.
Oh when the moments when I'm all alone and the quiets too loud
Feeling lonely in moments of solitude with loud thoughts.
I got a choir in my head singing thoughts that I wouldn't say aloud
Metaphorically describing inner thoughts as a choir.
And if it wasn't for this Jack I'm sipping I would put down the phone
Credits the solace to the drink; suggests a reliance on alcohol.
It's always the same thing round and round until I'm left here alone
Describing a recurring pattern leading to isolation.
I only called because I'm sitting here alone and I'm drinking
Reiteration of the loneliness and need for the person.
And I need you
Reaffirming the emotional dependency on the person.

Expressing the desire to leave and be with the person.
Come see you
Stating the intention to come and see the person.
And if I'm picking up the phone then I'm thinking
Linking phone calls to thoughts of the person.

And if you're picking up the phone then you're thinking
Suggesting the person answering is also contemplating.

Don't pick up the phone
Reinforcing the instruction not to pick up the phone.
I know I'll probably regret it tomorrow
Anticipating regret for messages sent while inebriated.
When I see those texts that I sent you drowning my sorrows
Expecting to regret messages expressing sorrow.
Because I'm sitting and I'm drunk and I'm missing you
Describing the emotional state of being drunk and missing the person.
And leaving me on read is the same thing I would probably do
Anticipating being ignored, acknowledging a similar response if roles were reversed.
I only called because I'm sitting here alone and I'm drinking

And I need you
Expressing a persistent need for the person.
