A Scent Like Wolves Telephone

Standing by the phone

Wondering if she’s not alone

You’ll haunt me like a ghost

In every town I walk, my shadow talks

 

Far, far away

I hear your voice in my memories

It was you and me

And I lie awake

Thinking what we could of been

Were we meant to be apart?

 

Come back home

I wasn’t waiting for tonight to call

I see your face in the window

Forgive me for what I’ve done

Take me back to twenty-one

 

Standing by the phone

Wondering if she’s not alone

You’ll haunt me like a ghost

In every town I walk, my shadow talks

 

This feeling - it’s rushing suddenly

I can’t escape my anxiety

Do you hear me calling?

Do

 

Reaching, I’m falling

I can’t see in front of me

When all it used to be was chasing dreams

And honestly I acted selfishly

 

Subdue your tongue until the witching hour surpasses

Asphyxiate my words, reprimand my thoughts until the last breath blackens

 

Place your bets in the open hands of death

Your insecurities and past regrets will silence your wickedness

 
You’ve been waiting for my walls to crumble
 

Standing by the phone

Wondering if she’s not alone

You’ll haunt me like a ghost

In every town I walk, my shadow talks

 

This feeling - it’s rushing suddenly

I can’t escape my anxiety

Do you hear me calling?

Do you hear me calling?

 

Standing by the phone

Now I know that she’s not alone

Do you hear me calling?

Did you hear me calling?
