On the landline every night
On the landline every night
When I hear the music we're together
Even though I know we are apart
When I hear the music we're together
But we're not and it breaks my heart
When I was a teenager, I used to call my boyfriend
On the landline every night and we would say
"One, two, three, press play at the same time"
Voices would sing to us and I'd think maybe it's love
Maybe he was sleeping, but I remember
When I hear the music we're together
Even though I know we are apart
When I hear the music we're together
But we're not and it breaks my heart
Even in the high highs
And the low, low lows
You're by my side
And I know, know, know
That it won't be long now, my friend
'Til we're together again
Now I'm getting older, I call up my girlfriends
Every day and say
"Tell me it's fine, that we're doing okay at least for today
Chasing our dreams away
Tell me there's always another way
Just reassure my brain 'cause I feel insane"
When I hear the music we're together
Even though I know we are apart
When I hear the music we're together
But we're not and it breaks my heart
Even in the high highs
And the low, low lows
You're by my side
And I know, know, know
That it won't be long now, my friend
'Til we're together again
I feel insane
When I was a teenager, I used to call my boyfriend
On the landline every night and we would say
"One, two, three, press play at the same time"
When I hear the music we're together
Even though I know we are apart
When I hear the music we're together
But we're not and it breaks my heart
Even in the high highs
And the low, low lows
You're by my side
And I know, know, know
That it won't be long now, my friend
'Til we're together again
