Courtesy Call
[Verse 1]
The shuffle of your feet is a funny thing
Looks kinda like you are going somewhere
Well maybe you are, and I don’t want to see
That it won’t be with me

[Verse 2]
So hand over the severance pay
Two cigarettes and a record to play
A compliment if you can get it in
You know I like the attention

[Chorus]
I’m thinking of a number between zero and zero
It’s all the times you made a change of heart courtesy call

[Verse 3]
Endearing as it was, in the morning hour
You spoke to me in caveman groans
An ancient language I have yet to translate
It’s hard enough using words to communicate
[Verse 4]
But words like goodbye are a tricky thing
They thread through easier when strung by hope
Now, I am not a speech coach
I just prefer a more direct approach

[Chorus]
I’m thinking of a number between zero and zero
It’s all the times you made a change of heart courtesy call

[Verse 5]
I’m feeling like a line in a book
Written in, and written out, without a second look
And this is my way of saying
Soon I’ll stop looking at my phone for your name
