[00:01.401][Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
[00:09.615]Uhh, I just need a minute to replenish who I am
[00:13.779]And who I am is so dependent on exactly where we stand
[00:15.955]I stand in any pose, anything but tippy-toes
[00:18.745]But don't want you to feel smaller, always taller
[00:21.473]Now I'm a cheerleader, she a baller
[00:23.234]The difference in height isn't aight, I left my ego at the alter
[00:26.484]Now every ring's a sting and everything I taught ya
[00:29.265]Is coming back around to me, just like revolvers
[00:31.995]And every single click is just hammering it home
[00:34.454]Who knew Russian roulette involved answering the phone?
[00:37.053]Until my signal dwindles or my channel is in roam
[00:39.614]Or my cellphone dies or it's cancer in my dome
[00:42.400]And dear nix the tone, as I pull my ****in’ pain out
[00:44.974]One of your short nodes, might blow my ****in' brains out
[00:49.384]But you ain't even pick up
[00:50.589]Talking to myself, exactly what you sick of
[00:52.926][Pre-Hook 1: Sebastian Lundberg]
[00:53.214]Feeling kinda restless
[00:55.591]Did you get my message?
[00:57.893]It's swirling around and so
[01:03.422]No, don't tell me that you care
[01:07.071]When I know you're standing there
[01:09.707]I left the story of my life on your answering machine
[01:13.912][Hook: Sebastian Lundberg]
[01:14.541]Hello, can you hear me?
[01:17.732]Hello, are you there?
[01:21.758]Hello, would you pick up the phone?
[01:25.617]Hello, can you hear me?
[01:28.365]Hello, are you there?
[01:32.355]Hello, would you pick up the ****in' phone?
[01:34.964][Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
[01:35.146]We were like, if a tree falls in the forest and
[01:37.683]No one is around, does it really make a sound?
[01:40.342]That's romantic and profound, but now
[01:42.357]We're like lumberjacks holding the axes that brung it down
[01:45.568]So I'm now on your message, talm 'bout "Remember?"
[01:48.365]Silence in return, that sound like 'Timber!"
[01:50.547]There's some that can't see the forest because they're liars
[01:53.464]But I can't see the forest cause of the fire
[01:56.228]And in our prehistorics, the flowers was rooting for us
[01:58.741]Brontosaurus ate the flowers, T-Rex ate the Brontosaurus
[02:01.312]And then the T-Rex turned around and ate the florist
[02:03.958]That's why I lost my FTD endor*****ts
[02:08.161]But that's really not important
[02:09.669]My sadness' a snitch, my melancholy informant
[02:12.100]Despair wears a wire, my longing rapping a song
[02:14.638]My worry is a rat, my lonely tapping the phone
[02:17.131][Pre-Hook 2: Sebastian Lundberg]
[02:17.537]Feeling kinda restless
[02:19.999]Did you get my message?
[02:22.127]It's swirling around and so
[02:27.722]I wanna give you reasons
[02:30.427]Tell you what I'm feeling
[02:32.757]But none of these lines are secure
[02:38.215]No, don't tell me that you care
[02:41.832]When I know you're standing there
[02:44.532]I left the story of my life on your answering machine
[02:49.885]My tears run off your shoes
[02:52.480]Like waters from a goose
[02:55.067]You try to wash off all the dirt
[02:57.637]But your hands aren't getting clean
[03:00.283][Hook: Sebastian Lundberg]
[03:00.603]Hello, can you hear me?
[03:03.266]Hello, are you there?
[03:07.250]Hello, would you pick up the phone?
[03:11.266]Hello, can you hear me?
[03:13.803]Hello, are you there?
[03:17.841]Hello, would you pick up the ****in' phone?
[03:20.036][Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
[03:20.438]The make-believers on receivers as you sit back and observe
[03:23.164]As the rubber curly cord just absorbs all my words
[03:25.728]Will you collect us then connect us or neglect us on the whole
[03:28.495]Into the wall, then cross the wires on the telephone poles
[03:31.054]Then bounces off the towers, then up into the satellites
[03:33.946]Then falls down back to Earth to bring a broken heart back to life
[03:36.597]Happens all the time, lost an appetite and lack of sleep
[03:39.221]If it's dead and flatten line, I'll leave a message at the beep
[03:42.297][Hook: Sebastian Lundberg]
[03:42.756]Hello, can you hear me?
[03:45.462]Hello, are you there?
[03:49.504]Hello, would you pick up the phone?
[03:53.484]Hello, can you hear me?
[03:56.082]Hello, are you there?
[03:59.982]Hello, would you pick up the phone?
[04:03.955]Would you pick up the phone?
[04:06.563]Would you pick up the phone?
[04:10.693]Hello, would you pick up the ****in' phone?
[04:13.523]
