Jacob Lee
Helpline
[Chorus: Jacob Lee]
Guess I'll let you go again
We're spoken for a while now
I know it's only 2 am, but tomorrow is today now
Don't hang up, I'm hungover
Don't tell me I should come over
Don't tell me you know what is like
When you're not on the other side now

[Verse 1: Armaan Yadav]
The phone knows too much about us
So much that speaks to me now
The number you're calling is busy at the moment
Yes, you did say something about being busy trying to figure it out
But the number you're calling is speaking to someone else
So I guess you did not cut off everyone else, just my call
A call that you took when you never really picked up on things
"Please, hold the line" says the phone
And trust me I have been holding on
Or call back again in some time giving me thickest vague hope
As I reach for the unreachable number of times, which you're roaming too much
And I'm losing all my balance
The phone has started taking matter into its own hands
Causing you with beeps unable to hang in the midst of every call
Deemed engaged
Engaged with someone else
Engaged in something less than what we had
Maybe you are my missed call, my missed chance
The number you're calling does not exist
Maybe just not anymore
So when I think of new relationships the phone reminds me
That I probably don't have enough credit left to make that call
At least not anymore
[Chorus: Jacob Lee]
I guess I'll let you go again
We're spoken for a while now
I know it's only 2 am, but tomorrow is today now
Don't hang up, I'm hungover
Don't tell me I should come over
Don't tell me you know what is like when you're not on the other side now

You sound the same through the phone and my memories
Waiting in home for the call that you say you'd leave
I used to love how you called once I fell asleep
I'd answer slow but you get the most honesty
I overheard that you're falling in love with him
And I can tell that you've already let him in
You used to say that you'd be waiting for me
But I've been left on hold for weeks

[Verse 2: Armaan Yadav]
And all the times we fell asleep on the phone with the call still going on
I couldn't imagine we were going wrong, we were going strong
I could never read the signs, but I guess he was always on the line
Just waiting for his time, when the fuck did this cross connection happened?
You locked me outside home with changing patterns
Pulling the plug on who we used to be
I'm exhausted batteries and corny metaphors
You're stuck in my head looping like a song
I bet I'm on your playlist too
The recently played section, or maybe most played too
'Cause I never learn my lessons
They say fear leaves you with two responses 'fight or flight'
I feared losing you and I responded with all my might
Standing firm and you switch to your airplane mode
Running down a runway
Running down everything we were
Running away
I want to run away too but I've been out of breath from chasing you all the fucking time and I just can't anymore
[Chorus: Jacob Lee]
You sound the same through the phone and my memories
Waiting in home for the call that you say you'd leave
I used to love how you called once I fell asleep
I'd answer slow but you get the most honesty
I overheard that you falling in love with him
And I can tell that you've already let him in
You used to say that you'd be waiting for me
But I've been left on hold for weeks

[Outro: Armaan Yadav]
The phone knows too much about us
So much that speaks to me now
