Pick Up The Damn Phone

“Your call has been forwarded…”

Wow.

Again?

You know what…

I’m leaving a message.

Three little dots then they disappear,

Funny how you magically disappear,

Posting pictures like you’re doing fine,

But you can’t answer one text of mine,

Don’t blame the signal, don’t blame the rain,

Don’t say your charger went missing again,

Your phone was alive five minutes ago,

So explain why I’m talking to a tone,

Ring, ring, are you scared?

Ring, ring, are you there?

You wanted drama, congratulations,

Welcome to my presentation,

I got patience, but it’s almost gone,

So listen when you hear this song…

Pick up the damn phone,

Stop acting like nobody’s home,

You got time to scroll all night,

But you can’t find the button on the right?

Pick up the damn phone,

I’m tired of fighting with a ringtone,

You disappear then come back grown,

Oh my God…

Pick up the damn phone!

La-la-la, leave a message at the tone,

La-la-la, guess I’m talking alone,

You wanted my attention, now you got your own,

Pick up the damn phone!

You read my message at 2:03,

Don’t pretend that you didn’t see,

I know that little bubble turned blue,

Technology already exposed you,

You’re not a spy, you’re not undercover,

You’re just avoiding one another,

If running away was an Olympic game,

They’d put a gold medal next to your name,

Ring, ring, breaking news,

I’m not chasing after you,

One last call, one last try,

Then I’m waving goodbye,

You can hide but not for long,

Your voicemail’s singing my favorite song…

Pick up the damn phone,

Stop acting like nobody’s home,

You got time to scroll all night,

But you can’t find the button on the right?

Pick up the damn phone,

I’m tired of fighting with a ringtone,

You disappear then come back grown,

Oh my God…

Pick up the damn phone!

Maybe you’re busy, maybe you’re scared,

Maybe you forgot somebody cared,

Maybe you don’t know what to say,

Maybe silence feels safer that way,

But I’m not angry like before,

I’m just not knocking anymore,

The funniest part when this is through…

Your next call’s gonna come from you.

Pick up the damn phone,

Oh wait, now I’m not alone,

Look who decided to come through,

After I stopped chasing you,

Pick up the damn phone,

Funny how fast the tables turn, you know,

Now my ringtone’s playing your song…

Sorry, can’t answer.

Leave it at the tone.

“The person you are trying to reach…”

Yeah.

That’s me now.
