“Dial Tones” is the first single off As It Is' debut album, Never Happy, Ever After. It’s a song about hurting someone that you love, primarily due to distance and an inability to truly be with them.
“Patchwork Love” acts as a kind of sequel to “Dial Tones”, since it talks about the hurt of breakin...
Dial Tones Lyrics
[Verse 1: Patty Walters]
It really hurts to know that I'm why your bed's half empty
Why you sleep alone or just stare up at your ceiling
And if you're a mess, God knows what that makes me
Cause the weight from all my guilt is all too much for me to carry
I'm sorry
[Chorus: Patty Walters (Ben Biss)]
Am I all that you never wanted?
Or has it been so long that you've forgotten?
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
Take your caution or take your chances
I'll mend your heart and break it in the same breath
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
[Verse 2: Ben Biss]
I'm getting more of what I've always wanted
But becoming less of who I've ever been
Cause I promised myself I'd never never hurt you and I did
If you can't trust a liar, how can you trust me again?
I'm running out of ways to say I'm sorry
[Chorus: Patty Walters (Ben Biss)]
Am I all that you never wanted?
Or has it been so long that you've forgotten?
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
Take your caution or take your chances
I'll mend your heart and break it in the same breath
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
[Bridge: Patty Walters, Ben Biss]
Forget me like you know you want to
Forget me like you know you have to
It really hurts to know that I'm why your bed's half empty
Why you sleep alone or just stare up at your ceiling
[Chorus: Patty Walters (Ben Biss)]
Am I all that you never wanted?
Or has it been so long that you've forgotten?
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
Take your caution or take your chances
I'll mend your heart and break it in the same breath
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)

In 4 Track History with Rock Sound, Patty Walters told the story behind the song:
This was musically/instrumentally going to be a cover for my YouTube channel way back in the day when I was trying to juggle both of those things at the same time, and this is one of the fundamental reasons as to why...
