lyrics

I put your picture in my phone
I can make you seem clearer, bring you nearer
But I can’t bring you home

You used to be in every frame
Now you’re not in the picture
It’s always the same and it’s just not the same

So I’m waiting
I’m just waiting
I’m fading, but you’ve got to keep on skating
Love died believing you were all alone
Life can begin when you phone

I did try putting it on a shelf
I thought I could stop scrolling and checking and pinching
And then I thought maybe you ought to go off and just
Pinch yourself

I just could not leave it where it was
I could set it to “vibrate”
But it's too late
And I can't stand the buzz

I’m waiting, not really hating
I’m fading, but you’ve got to keep on skating
Time hides when I picture on your own
And it won’t come out till you phone

Don’t let it wait till you mis-dial
You’ve been phoning it in since last fall
Now it’s next fall
Child, for some people this life is just one big, long pocket call

So I’m waiting
I am waiting
I’m fading
Or can't you tell?
I'm waiting and waiting
It's a bit degrading, but what the hell?
I'm waiting
Just waiting
I'm fading, but you've got to keep on skating

I stopped pretending I was made of stone
Would you quit pretending you won’t phone?
