Phone Tag

[Intro/Chorus]
And now I’m at the stage of life
Where we just play phone tag
And we apologize for not keeping in touch
And all the tethers I had to that version of me
Are just memories
Thoughts I used to have

And we just play phone tag
And we just play phone tag

[Verse 1]
I’d say to leave a voicemail
If it didn’t make me anxious
I’ve got a dozen unread messages
And I don’t know how to fix this

Every day it builds up
The amount of guilt I’m holding
But it gets even harder
To tell you how I’m doing

The world continues spinning
And I continue hiding
I don’t wanna FaceTime
And tell you why I’m crying

I’m scared you’ll say it’s my fault
You know I would believe it
I’m scared that I’m too different
I’m scared you’ll see me bleeding

[Chorus]
And now I’m at the stage of life
Where we just play phone tag
And we apologize for not keeping in touch
And all the tethers I had to that version of me
Are just memories
Thoughts I used to have

And we just play phone tag
And we just play phone tag

[Verse 2]
It’d be nice to hear your voice
But I’m bad at making plans
My head is full of noise
And I don’t know if I can

It’s hard to reach out
I’m scared of things changing
Staring out the window
I wonder if she hates me

The world continues spinning
And I continue bleeding
I don’t wanna FaceTime
And tell you why I’m grieving

Some parts of are my fault
If you can believe it
I don’t wanna hear “I’m sorry”
I don’t wanna make you feel it

[Chorus]
And now I’m at the stage of life
Where we just play phone tag
And we apologize for not keeping in touch
And all the tethers I had to that version of me
Are just memories
Thoughts I used to have

And we just play phone tag
And we just play phone tag

[Bridge]
I used to be able to walk down the street
And you’d be there waiting for me
Spending our downtime lazing about
I wonder if you think of me

We used to talk about all of our dreams
About all the places we’d be
We sat on the grass and hysterically laughed
I’d see you look over at me

But now I’m at the stage of life
Where we just play phone tag
And we apologize for not keeping in touch
And all the tethers I had to that version of me
Are just memories
Thoughts I used to have

And we just play phone tag
And we just play phone tag
