According to Wikipedia, “Phones” is one of the oldest Neon Trees tracks, dating back to before Elaine and Branden were in the group.
Well, just give me the beat!
Excuse me, can someone help me?
I've misplaced my love
And she used to talk with her own mouth
But now her own mouth is sewn shut
Forgive me, I am lonely
Lonely for her touch
Now I used to be the one thing she needs
But now I'm not good enough
Please help me
Operator, we lost our connection
Operator, where's our communication?
Operator, I am in love
All alone, you know
'Cause she's just always talking on phones
Lust, lies, pretty lies
They make no sense to me
Now I'm convinced that nobody's ever
Honest when they speak
We need something more
'Cause we've been lost at sea
And we're dead and drowning in a wave
Of new technology
Now I'm all alone
Don't answer that phone
It's a social nightmare
And you just don't care, and you just don't care
She made me laugh
Oh, now she makes me cry
Now I'm all alone
And I don't know why, and I don't know why
Operator, we lost our connection
Operator, where's our communication?
Operator, I am in love
All alone, you know
'Cause she's just always talking on phones
Don't you tell me lies
She's just always talking
She's just always talking
She's just always talking
Now everybody's talking on the phone
Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's talkin'
Everybody, everybody!
Operator, we lost our connection
Operator, where's our communication?
Operator, I am in love
All alone, you know
'Cause she's just always talking on phones
We've lost our connection
Oh, where's our communication?
Operator we are in love
All alone, you know
Now everybody's talking on phones
