Answering Machine

So I called you up again last night just to let it go to machine
I know you're not picking up for anybody not just me
And I listen to you speak
Say goodbye and wait for the tone
Held my breath waiting for somebody
On the other end
Stop leaving messages a month or so ago
People said it was unhealthy
To leave confessions for a ghost

I made a promise I intend to keep
(I'm gonna drag this out, I'm gonna drag this out)
Just know when it's over that it meant something (I'm gonna drag this out, I'm gonna drag this out)

It tastes like regret and smells like the rain
Everything's different when it should feel the same
Everyone's saying that it'll be okay
Time heals the wounds and stops all the bleeding
Stuck in the winter
Distant like memories
I can barely remember
The shape of your face
The sound of your voice
Or where I am

And it scares the hell outta me that I'll end up the same

[Chorus]
I made a promise I intend to keep
(I'm gonna drag this out, I'm gonna drag this out)
Just know when it's over that it meant something (I'm gonna drag this out, I'm gonna drag this out)

And I'm anxious and misfit
I'm a nervous wreck
I can't sleep
There's no comfort here
I can die in the same place
Did you mean what you said
Was it just too heavy to take
Did you find all the answers
Did you find what you need

[Chorus]
I made a promise I intend to keep
(I'm gonna drag this out, I'm gonna drag this out)
Just know when it's over that it meant something (I'm gonna drag this out, I'm gonna drag this out)

I hear the gospel choir in my head again
And my sins burning holes in my chest
I'm not sure if there's a place for me in heaven now
I'm not sure if I'll come back from this

I hear the gospel choir in my head again
And my sins burning holes in my chest
I'm not sure if there's a place for me in heaven now
I'm not sure if I'll come back from this
