Answer Machine Lyrics by Lysistrata

The Thread

2017

[Unique Verse]
You just went out
For a pack of cigarettes
But it's 2 a.m
And your answer machine is boring me

Blue and red lights
Repaint the kitchen walls
And who is this who
Turns up at our door

It's not you
It's not you
Why isn't you?
Hey?
Why isn't you?

So all of a sudden my head it fills up
With the first day we met
At that first day of school
And that glitter in your eyes
And that smile, oh that smile
And that love of the world
Taking over our hearts

And now I'm knelt down
My face on the ground
My tears overflow
From the cracks in the floor-boards
Beneath me

Why isn't it you?
Why wasn't it you?

[Unique Chorus]
I think about you all the time
I think about you all the time
Where are you?

I also hope you think about me
Where is she?
Where is she?

I've got my head stuck under the sheets
Please call me
I've got my head stuck under the sheets
Please call me

[Outro x2]
I feel my hand upon your face
Our bodies touch we're both in space
But when I think about those days
My tears they fall but it's okay
