Call Me When It's Quiet

Call Me When It's Quiet
Call Me When It's Quiet

Engagement party, room too loud
Your phone buzzing in your coat
I'm not the person you're marrying
Still, I know how you go remote
We had our season in the shadows
You chose the life that looked more right
I won't make a scene at your party
I won't become your second life

Don't call me from the noise
To say what you hide in daylight

Call Me When It's Quiet and you can mean it
Call Me When It's Quiet and you can live in it
I won't be the truth you only tell after midnight
Call Me When It's Quiet, or leave it tonight

Call Me When It's Quiet
Call Me When It's Quiet

Months later, voicemail at one-thirty
Your voice lower than before
You say you keep thinking about me
I let it sit till morning four
Sun comes up, I play it once
Then delete it before my coffee
If you need darkness to be honest
You aren't ready to be honest with me

I used to confuse being chosen secretly
With being chosen at all
I won't be the truth you only tell after midnight
That phone vibrating in your coat told me enough

I won't be the truth you only tell after midnight
Call Me When It's Quiet
Call Me When It's Quiet, or don't call
Call Me When It's Quiet

Call Me When It's Quiet, no ring on your hand
Call Me When It's Quiet, with a life you understand
I won't be the truth you only tell after midnight
Call Me When It's Quiet, or don't call

Call Me When It's Quiet, or don't call
Call Me When It's Quiet, or don't call
