Poems I Never Read Lyrics by Brian October

I n f l u e n t i a l

2017

[Intro]
She been calling at night
She been calling at night
She been calling at night
She been calling at night
It's always on my mind, oh!
It's always on my mind, oh!
It's always on my mind, oh!
[Pre-Chorus]
I pick up the phone she been calling at night
(She been calling at night)
I know she wanna apologise
(And stain my mind, Oh!)
Said she don't deserve me and now I regret it
I pop up the pill, I bet she be nagging me
Why don't you call Toby?
I know you was trouble just right from the start
[Chorus]
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
[Verse: One]
It's like I'm always getting caught up
In a train of thought
Like you had my heart stranded
When you tied a knot
But here's to the memories
And days that I forgot
About you dying in my arms
When I shed a lot
But then again
It always felt like I was skipping college
I done had a lot of feelings
I wish you acknowledged
But in return you let me down
It's not what I expected
You went ahead and made you happy
Or so I've accepted
I've been caught in your love all this time
While you thought that I'm trippin' or so
I've have always assumed
You the one I would wife
And the one I would show
To My mom and my dad
And my sisters & brothers
My aunts and my uncles
And cousins and friends
And my grans and my fans
Then my Exs
Would wanna comment
On the life that we building
[Pre-Chorus]
I pick up the phone she been calling at night
(She been calling at night)
I know she wanna apologise
(And stain my mind, Oh!)
Said she don't deserve me and now I regret it
I pop up the pill, I bet she be nagging me
Why don't you call Toby?
I know you was trouble just right from the start
[Chorus]
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
[Verse: Two]
And our love was quite the metaphor
Even when I cried out it didn't matter more
What am I playing Operetta for?
'Cause you have always
Played me out like matador
And then I lived to see the aftermath
I lost myself in loving you
And never caught a breath
Like I'm involved in a Mega meth
And loving you has always
Felt like I'm writing Maths
I never really felt this with somebody else
And it would never be the same
With somebody else
Been hard to picture out my life
With somebody else
But you would rather
Have your way with somebody else
Look!
I'm done searching for the pot of gold
I'm done thinking 'bout the life that we never had
I'm done tryna tell the stories that were never told
I'm done thinking 'bout the poems that I never read
[Pre-Chorus]
I pick up the phone she been calling at night
(She been calling at night)
I know she wanna apologise
(And stain my mind, Oh!)
Said she don't deserve me and now I regret it
I pop up the pill, I bet she be nagging me
Why don't you call Toby?
I know you was trouble just right from the start
[Chorus]
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
(Hmm, Hmm, Hmm)
Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
(Ahhh! Ahh! Ahh)
Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
(Ahh! Ahh! Oh! Yeah)
(Hmm)
