I Hate Phone Calls (Long Distance Sucks)

(album: Chapter 1: Things We're Not Saying - 2022)

I hate phone calls
The sound of your voice at night
I hate your smile
The screen lighting up your eyes
I hate the way I see you in everything I do
I hate it how my schedule revolves around you
I hate phonecalls
'Cause that's not the you I like

It might be eight hundred miles back to Massachusetts
And I never thought I'd have to put us through this
And maybe if I'd stayed it'd be easier to stay in love
'Cause baby, long distance sucks
Don't know how all these people do it
It's barely been a week and I can't even get through this
And if I hadn't left then I wouldn't wanna leave so much
'Cause baby, long distance sucks

I hate phone calls
I'm sick of pretending I'm okay
When you ask me how I'm doing
There ain't that much left to say (got nothing to say)
I hate the way it's ten o'clock for you and nine for me
'Cause by the time that I get home you're pretty much asleep
I hate phone calls
'Cause I'm really not okay, no I'm really not okay

'Cause it's eight hundred miles back to Massachusetts
And I never thought I'd have to put us through this
And maybe if I'd stayed it'd be easier to stay in love
'Cause baby, long distance sucks
Don't know how all these people do it
It's barely been a week and I can't even get through this
And if I hadn't left then I wouldn't wanna leave so much
'Cause baby, long distance sucks

It might be eight hundred miles back to Massachusetts
And I never thought I'd have to put us through this
And maybe if I'd stayed it'd be easier to stay in love
'Cause baby, long distance sucks
Don't know how all these people do it
It's barely been a week and I can't even get through this
And if I hadn't left then I wouldn't wanna leave so much
'Cause baby, long distance (it sucks)
