Waiting on the Call

(hmmm-mm) Elevator playing something cheap and slow

Standing in the corner with my screen aglow Why am I waiting

for a call that will not show? (yeah)

Forty floors up.

Rain on the glass.

Watch the cold gray clouds roll past.

Dry air conditioning hums.

Still no text message comes.

I dial. I hang up.

Looking down at my cup.

Will it ring?

Will it ring?

Elevator playing something cheap and slow

Standing in the corner with my screen aglow Why am I waiting

for a call that will not show?

(ooh, oh)

Door opens with a digital chime.

Every floor feels like frozen time.

Step in, step out,

checking the screen. Most quiet Friday I have

ever seen.

Ascending up.

Looking high. Gray wet streets meet the sky.

I let the silence clear my head.

I put the phone away instead.

(yeah, yeah)

Elevator playing something cheap and slow

Standing in the corner with my screen aglow Why am I waiting

for a call that will not show?

(no, no)
