(ring

ring) (voicemail beep)

You dial, I smile,

I let it go to voicemail

You text “pick up” I go “I’m busy,

dear, no detail”

You call again, I watch the screen light glow

I take a sip,

I stretch, I go “I’ll call you back,

bro”

You say “it’s urgent” I say “Is it life or death?”

You say “No” I say “Then it can wait,

take a breath”

You got that same old ring Pacing through my day

I let it buzz awhile Then I drift away

Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying

Ring-ring-ring, you keep call,

ringing

Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying Ring-ring-ring,

I’m not answering (ring ring!)

Now you at the front door,

tapping like it’s a crime

I’m behind the curtain,

letting you waste your time You got five missed calls and a

paragraph too

I read the whole thing,

then I do not move for you You say “please just hear

me” through the cracked-up frame

I know that voice,

and I still do not play that game

You got that same old ring Pacing through my day

I let it buzz awhile Then I drift away

Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying

Ring-ring-ring, you keep call,

ringing

Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying Ring-ring-ring,

I’m not answering

Maybe I’ll answer when the sky turns pale

Maybe I’ll care when the whole thing fails

Right now your tone is a one-way track

Send it to voicemail,

I ain’t calling back

Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying

Ring-ring-ring, you keep call,

ringing

Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying Ring-ring-ring,

I’m not answering (voicemail beep!) (ring ring) (voicemail tone)
