Lyrics

Static on the line, the hum of the city Shadows dancing on the wall, it’s not really pretty The dial tone is lonely, a rhythmic decay Just counting the seconds of another empty day I’m swirling in the dark, thoughts turning to lead A hurricane of questions spinning round in my head Is he laughing in a room where the lights are low? Is he whispering secrets that I don't get to know? I’m tracing the ghost of a touch I can’t reach Sinking in the silence like a wave past the beach I’m losing my grip, yeah, I’m biting my tongue Choking on the jealousy, the songs left unsung I want you entirely, a thief in the night Locked in my orbit, kept out of the light 'Cause baby, I’m greedy, yeah, I’m playing for keeps I don’t want to share you while everyone sleeps My fingertips ache for the phone that stays cold These stories I’m building are getting real old Where is he drifting? Does he miss me enough? Or am I just a feature in a world that is tough? I’m holding the trigger, I’m losing the plot Giving you everything that I’ve actually got Maybe I’m broken, maybe I’m toxic and vain But love is a fire that feeds on the pain I’m not used to passing my toys down the line I’m just selfishly wishing that you were all mine Yeah, all mine, strictly mine I’m losing my grip, yeah, I’m biting my tongue Choking on the jealousy, the songs left unsung I want you entirely, a thief in the night Locked in my orbit, kept out of the light 'Cause baby, I’m greedy, yeah, I’m playing for keeps I don’t want to share you while everyone sleeps Just call me back, let the echo die down I’m the queen of a lonely, deserted town All mine. Just mine. (Static noise fades to silence)
