Waiting On a Call - Futurebirds

Hot tub chillin' in the great north woods

Went up in flames like we knew it would

Under the meteor shower

The people on this sound they ain’t fuckin' around

'Cause they know winter is coming

Spent the morning out walking the yard alone

A pale face glued to a telephone

A girl’s pretty sick

She ain’t ready to quit

You can tell by the way that she’s carryin' on laughin' through the percocet

trip

And I’m out in the yard

Just crying like a bitch

She knew she’d smile and say

«Oh now my dear boy

«Oh now my dear boy

Don’t cry for some old lady,» she said

«Oh now my dear boy.»

Pretty blonde waiting on the other line

I want so bad to convince her things will work out fine

She says your life is a risk

And that’s the end of it

Well getting out of bed is a risk

It’s all I got to get

It’s really all there is

Just wish you’d hold on to my word

Just wish you’d hold on to my word

Just wish you’d hold on to my word

Waiting on a call

And on your eyes I seen that black wave coming on

Get you on the phone but you’re already gone

Everyone’s got a time

Yeah sometimes life’s just sad

Keep love in your heart and keep those eyes ahead

She held me tight and said, «We're gonna see one another again

Just keep love in your heart and keep those eyes ahead.»

Hot tub chillin' in the great north woods

Went up in flames like we knew it would

Just waitin' on a call

I’m just waitin' on a call
