​swallowtail Lyrics by ​mitsu

i6w9

2023

[Refrain]
Yeah, I'm too fucked up
Babe, I'll admit it
I only miss you when I'm intoxicated
No, I can't help it, but can you help it?
So, what's your ETA? I need you to come through, I-

[Chorus]
Am in the backseat of a yellow cab
On my way back home
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why you're not answering your phone

[Verse 1]
A swallowtail with clipped wings
My worst enemy is myself when I think
Now I'm crawling back to bed
Waking up to your text
Asking, "Do you really miss me?"

[Refrain]
Fucked up, babe, I'll admit it
I only miss you when I'm intoxicated
No, I can't help it, but can you help it?
So, what's your ETA? I need you to come through, I-

[Bridge]
No, I can't run, I can't run
Baby, I'm way too drunk for this (Uh-uh)
Oh, I can't run, I can't run
Baby, let's finish what we started (Uh-uh)

[Chorus]
I'm in the backseat of a yellow cab
On my way back home
Oh, tеll me why
Oh, tell me why you'rе not answering your phone
I-I'm I-in the backseat of a yellow cab
On my way back home
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why you're not answering your phone

[Verse 2]
Sinasabi ko that, "I'm wanting more of you"
Don't know if that's the liquor talking
Whatchu' wanna' do?
Cigarette smoke taking over my view
But when I sober up, I'm wanting less of you
(Wanting less of you)

[Refrain]
Yeah, I'm too fucked up
Babe, I'll admit it
I only miss you when I'm intoxicated
No, I can't help it, but can you help it?
So, what's your ETA? I need you to come through, I-

[Chorus]
Am in the backseat of a yellow cab
On my way back home
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why you're not answering your phone
I-I'm I-in the backseat of a yellow cab
On my way back home
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why you're not answering your phone
