hear me out

[afterten]

its funny when you find a song that describes exactly how you feel... as if the words were taken right out of your mouth...

i join the queue on your answerphone
and all i am is holding breath
just pick up i know youre there
cant you hear, im not myself

oh go ahead and lie to me
you could say anything
small talk will be just fine
your voice is everything
we owe it to love
and it all depends on you

so listen up, this sun hasnt set
i refuse to believe that its only me feeling
just hear me out, im not over you yet
its love on the line can you handle it

so how do i do normal
the smile i fake, the permanent wave of
cue cards and fix it kits
cant you tell, im not myself

im a slow motion accident
lost in coffee rings and fingerprints
i dont wanna feel anything, but i do
and it all comes back to you

so listen up, this sun hasnt set
(i refuse to believe that it's only me feeling)
just hear me out,  im not over you yet
(its love on the line can you handle it)

so listen up
look at me straight
just hear me out
dont make me wait
im not myself
i cant take this
love's on the line
is that your final answer

i join the queue on your answerphone
and all i am is holding breath
just pick up i know you're there

so listen up, this sun hasnt set
(i refuse to believe that its only me feeling)
just hear me out, im not over you yet
(its love on the line can you handle it?)
