Midnight Payphone

[Verse 1]
You call from a midnight payphone
Coins clack in the static air
Saying that you miss my chaos
Ask if I still care
Neon name on my pager
Flash like you on my mind
Tracked you down on this old dance floor
Just to press rewind
[Chorus]
Dial my heart on the dance floor (dance floor)
Touch-tone love
What you waiting for? (hey!)
Every step is a message you send
Every spin says “start again”
Dial my heart
Let the lights blur (lights blur)
You and me in a fast-forward blur
If it’s wrong but it feels this sure
Dial my heart
Dial my heart
[Verse 2]
You move like a rumor starting
Spreading heat through the crowded room
Every little shrug says “maybe”
Every little glance says “soon”
You laugh
Then you pull my collar
Breath tastes like cherry wine
Say you hate how I’m still your habit
Then you press to mine
[Chorus]
Dial my heart on the dance floor (dance floor)
Touch-tone love
What you waiting for? (oh!)
Every step is a message you send
Every spin says “start again”
Dial my heart
Let the lights blur (lights blur)
You and me in a fast-forward blur
If it’s wrong but it feels this sure
Dial my heart
Dial my heart
[Bridge]
Number by number
You pull me under
You hit redial
I fall again (again)
Stop and go
You’re
Busy tone
Then
Ringing in my chest
My friend (my friend)
[Chorus]
Dial my heart on the dance floor (dance floor)
Touch-tone love
What you waiting for?
Every step is a message you send
Every spin says “start again”
Dial my heart
Let the lights blur (lights blur)
You and me in a fast-forward blur
If it’s wrong but it feels this sure
Dial my heart
Dial my heart (hey!)
Dial my heart
Dial my heart
