everyone’s phones are off their hooks

it’s been a pretty long week
lights have all gone down for me
static, i wait in my center
to lean leftwards, the slightest degree
finds news of more infidelity
one move and i’ll bolt

talk it out, sing about it
give me a ring about it
everyone in some way is laying low
keeping friday nights to themselves

by the fire on a cold night, everyone’s phones are off their hooks
