Landline
[Verse 1]
You grew up somewhere far away
Didn't recognise the good old days
Until you felt the passing winds fly through your hair
Spent every day trying to pull back up
Remnants of the parts you love
But for the rest of us, there's nothing's even there
I'm too young, to feel so old
And I'm so tired of being told
[Chorus]
Well the broken record repeats itself
The CDs get moved off the shelf
But you only listen to your vinyl tones
So much has changed between now and then
But you'll finally hear the future when it calls you up on a landline phone
It calls you on a landline phone
[Verse 2]
I know you hate the teenage screams of raw cathartic energy
They remind you that there's still problems left to solve
I know you'll be gone before the flood comes to consume the rest of us
But that doesn't leave you guiltless when you're gone
[Chorus]
Well the broken record repeats itself
And the CDs get moved off the shelves
But you only listen to your vinyl tones
So much has changed between now and then
But you'll finally hear the future when it calls you up on a landline phone
It calls you on a landline phone
[Verse 3]
Value is not determined by how much someone has seen
Through their clouded broken glasses to their cable TV screens
I finally see the way out of this violence you've ignored
But you won't open the door
You won't open the door
[Chorus]
So the broken record repeats itself
And the CDs rot under the shelf
But you only listen to your vinyl tones
So much has changed between now and then
But you'll finally hear the future when it calls you up on a landline phone
So much has changed between now and then
But you'll finally hear the future when it calls you up on a landline phone
It calls you on a landline phone
