From the recording PURGATORY ROAD
Lyrics
LANDLINE
You make me want to get a landline
Curl my finger around that black wire
Dial that rotary
Just to feel you close to me
You make me want to get a landline
Call waiting can wait until you’re all mine
Memorize your number
Talk until we slumber
Things were different back in the day
You called when you had something to say
Like, I like you, I love you, I need you in my life,
So I beg you to stay
You make me want to get a landline
Lay in bed, let you voice help me unwind
Handwrite your name
That wireless love just ain’t the same
You make me want to get a landline
If we get disconnected, can't we just hit redial
Don't you turn my ringer down
I just can't live without a sound
Things were different back in the day
You called when you had something to say
Like, I like you, I love you, I need you in my life,
So I beg you to stay
Cradle me
I’m all hung up
Dial it back
Ten digits, feel my pulse
Operator
Get me a dial tone
I need your sound waves coming through my telephone
Things were different back in the day
You called when you had something to say
Like, I like you, I love you, I need you in my life,
So I beg you to stay
Like, I like you, I love you, I need you in my life,
So I beg you to stay
