Pick Up The Phone<\/b>
\nCarina Round<\/i><\/p>\n

Pick up the phone
\nI’m pregnant with your baby
\nI wanted you to know
\nThe dreams I’ve been having lately<\/p>\n

I wake up, I walk out from an explosion
\nAnd the city speaks in sirens
\nAnd the wreckage is my angel of devotion
\nA dying light inside him<\/p>\n

And I try to tell you something
\nBut my mouth fills up with water
\nYou say, “Finally, you found me…”
\nAnd suddenly I’m drowning<\/p>\n

Pick up the phone
\nI’m trying to say sorry
\nThe things that you should know
\nAre weighing heavy on me<\/p>\n

Well it’s nothing can’t be fixed
\nWith a hot bath and a fifth of mother’s ruin
\nAll forgone for the duration
\nWith deranged and, maybe even, drunken sex with strangers<\/p>\n

And his wife didn’t stop crying
\nFor at least a week, he told me
\nBut at least she got the kids and half a million
\nI just assumed that she was sleeping<\/p>\n

And I fall in love in the only way that I know
\nAs I dive into the mouth of a hungry volcano
\nAnd I walk, not recognizing set of reflections
\nAs I lay next to the next one with you on my mind<\/p>\n

Pick up the phone
\nPick up the phone
\nPick up the phone
\nI’ll … go<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
