Landline

from 909s and Bad Times by Joplin Rice

/

lyrics

I asked myself
How I got myself into this situation
Knowing the answer
Was some combination of bad luck and impatience

Is that true
Was I really your first boyfriend
If so, I'm sorry
I can't help I wasn't a man

Please ask me anything
One word is plenty
Just phrase it as a question

Like you want a response
Yeah I don't want your courtesy
I want affection

Is that true that I broke your heart via landline?
I can't remember
High school has been a long time
Is that true
Was I really your first boyfriend
If so, I'm sorry
I can't help I wasn't a man
If so, I'm sorry
I can't help I wasn't a man

I can hold my breath for such a long time
You should see it
You'd be impressed

I can hold my breath for such a long time
You should see it
You'd be impressed
