Lyrics Waiting On a Call - Futurebirds

Waiting On a Call

Hot tub chillin' in the great north woods
Went up in flames like we knew it would
Under the meteor shower
The people on this sound they ain’t fuckin' around
'Cause they know winter is coming
Spent the morning out walking the yard alone
A pale face glued to a telephone
A girl’s pretty sick
She ain’t ready to quit
You can tell by the way that she’s carryin' on laughin' through the percocet
trip
And I’m out in the yard
Just crying like a bitch
She knew she’d smile and say
«Oh now my dear boy
«Oh now my dear boy
Don’t cry for some old lady,» she said
«Oh now my dear boy.»
Pretty blonde waiting on the other line
I want so bad to convince her things will work out fine
She says your life is a risk
And that’s the end of it
Well getting out of bed is a risk
It’s all I got to get
It’s really all there is
Just wish you’d hold on to my word
Just wish you’d hold on to my word
Just wish you’d hold on to my word
Waiting on a call
And on your eyes I seen that black wave coming on
Get you on the phone but you’re already gone
Everyone’s got a time
Yeah sometimes life’s just sad
Keep love in your heart and keep those eyes ahead
She held me tight and said, «We're gonna see one another again
Just keep love in your heart and keep those eyes ahead.»
Hot tub chillin' in the great north woods
Went up in flames like we knew it would
Just waitin' on a call
I’m just waitin' on a call
