That Phone

(album: Grace Potter & The Nocturnals - 2010)

You're gonna want me
The minute that you leave me
You're gonna wish you'd stayed in my bed

You're gonna long for
The sound of me opening the door
But I'm just gonna listen to you knock instead
I hear the ringin down a long, long hall
You can keep it up, baby
I ain't taking your call

I'm just gonna lay there
I'm gonna stay there
I ain't pickin up that phone
You've been moving so long
In the wrong direction
It's time for you to be alone
So I ain't picking up that phone

You're gonna wanna call me
You're gonna wanna crawl back home
You'll try to smooth out the situation

You're gonna try to phone me
Whenever you feel lonely
But it's gonna be a one-way
conversation, baby

I hear the ringin down a long, long hall
You can keep it up, baby
I ain't taking your call

I'm just gonna lay there
I'm gonna stay there
I ain't pickin up that phone

You've been moving so long
In the wrong direction
It's time for you to be alone
So I ain't picking up that phone

You'll feel the cold, cold air underneath your clothes
Creeping in from the door I left open, baby
And you can try with all your might to change my mind
But you're just gonna have to keep on hoping

I'm just gonna lay there
I'm gonna stay there
I ain't pickin up that phone

You've been moving so long
In the wrong direction
It's time for you to be alone
So I ain't picking up that phone
