about

A song about getting drunk and calling your ex.

lyrics

Was it something in the air, or was it all the cheap red wine
That set the wolves to howling in my troubled head tonight
Or has nothing changed, after all this wasted time?
I still can’t seem to stop you running riot in my mind

How slow the old love fades
Feels like nothing's getting better and it's never gonna change

So call me if you get the chance, hope I didn’t wake you up
But darling, I could use a friend, I just wanna talk
God I hate this song and dance, I don’t wanna mess you up
Love is such an ugly thing, I just wanna talk

Well it don’t seem all that long now since those fateful summer nights
When all our friends were smiling in that garden filled with light
And you could hear me say “I miss the simpler times”
As if I’d ever had it any better my whole life

But quickly go the days
And the harder that I hold on, the faster you slip away

So call me if you get the chance, hope I didn’t wake you up
But darling, I could use a friend, I just wanna talk
God I hate this song and dance, I don’t wanna mess you up
Love is such an ugly thing, I just wanna talk

Forever seems an awfully long time
But that’s how long I’ll be here waiting for the dream to die

So call me if you get the chance, hope I didn’t wake you up
But darling, I could use a friend, I just wanna talk
God I hate this song and dance, how did we get so messed up?
Love is such an ugly thing, I just wanna talk to you
You don’t owe me anything, I just want to talk
