[Intro]
On the landline every night
On the landline every night
[Chorus]
When I hear the music we're together
Even though I know we are apart
When I hear the music we're together
But we're not and it breaks my heart
[Verse 1]
When I was a teenager, I used to call my boyfriend
On the landline every night and we would say
"One, two, three, press play at the same timе"
Voices would sing to us and I'd think maybe it's love
Maybе he was sleeping, but I remember
[Chorus]
When I hear the music we're together
Even though I know we are apart
When I hear the music we're together
But we're not and it breaks my heart
[Post-Chorus]
Even in the high highs
And the low, low lows
You're by my side
And I know, know, know
That it won't be long now, my friend
'Til we're together again
[Verse 2]
Now I'm getting older, I call up my girlfriends
Every day and say
"Tell me it's fine, that we're doing okay at least for today
Chasing our dreams away
Tell me there's another way
Just reassure my brain 'cause I feel insane"
[Chorus]
When I hear the music we're together
Even though I know we are apart
When I hear the music we're together
But we're not and it breaks my heart
[Post-Chorus]
Even in the high highs
And the low, low lows
You're by my side
And I know, know, know
That it won't be long now, my friend
'Til we're together again
[Bridge]
(I feel insane)
(When I was a teenager, I used to call my boyfriend)
(On the landline every night and we would say)
("One, two, three, press play at the same time")
[Chorus]
When I hear the music we're together
Even though I know we are apart
When I hear the music we're together
But we're not and it breaks my heart
[Post-Chorus]
Even in the high highs
And the low, low lows
You're by my side
And I know, know, know
That it won't be long now, my friend
'Til we're together again

We wanted to capture the nostalgic feeling of the song without being too literal. The track has a real ‘70s disco feel, so I knew I wanted to capture that. I had been aware of the amazing Poodle & Blonde location house in Margate for a long time and had been dying to shoot something there. It al...
