Silent Standby

(rinnng) (rinnng) "The subscriber you

are trying to reach is not available..."

Cold bench facing the diner light

Phone on silent through the freezing night

I'm still waiting on a call from you But the screen stays

black, nothing's getting through

Closed sign hanging behind the glass Watching every single headlights pass I

lock my screen but I check it anyway

Silence hurts more than what you'd say

Yeah, sitting on the corner of 5th and Main

Trying to wash away all the phantom pain

And the dial tone rings out in the air

(hello?) But I know there's nobody there

Cold bench facing the diner light

Phone on silent through the freezing night

I'm still waiting on a call from you But the screen stays

black, nothing's getting through

Three AM, local shops are dead

Replaying everything that you ever said

I got my collar pulled up to the breeze

Cold wind shaking all the neighborhood trees

Still waiting on a miracle line But I'm just running out of

time

(out of time) No call tonight

Just the diner light (shhhh)
