lyrics

The coffee's on the table
The cat killed a bird
The sight of my phone
Is so absurd

Still I hope it rings,
But if it does
It’s Probably just some debt collector
Calling me up

It's never you
Just some number like mine
A pre-recorded health insurance
Salesman on the line

It's never you
When I want it be
Yet you said you've been
Trying to get a hold of me

Waiting for the weekend
I've got no plans
Probably just go to the bar
And listen to the band

I like the way they sing
But if you called
I'd leave there in a heartbeat
And go to where you are

It's never you
Thought it might be this time
So I'll just watch the band
Standing, swaying in time

It's never you
When I want it be
Yet you said you've been
Trying to get a hold of me

That cat's on the table
The coffee's getting cold
The rain just started falling
Cause the clouds got too old

And all these little things
I'm gonna say
The next time someone calls
To sell me something today

It's never you
Who calls when you're on my mind
My phone is probably ringing
As I'm singing you this line

It's never you
When I want it be
Yet you said you've been
Trying to get a hold of me
