phone in my hand i test the line
the tone means it works just fine
maybe my number is too hard to remember
maybe if i were more kind

i wanna be clear with what i say
i hint at “i’m lonely” and “please stay”
can’t you take the lead, offer what i need
i can’t ask you in an audible way

but if everyone has someone
that’s always true sometimes
if everyone has someone
you’re mine

i see you again and we smile
silence follows to get my riled
i practice a speech i know i’ll never say
and you’ve been listening all the while

i stumble around the subject and i fall
you find me forehead against the wall
you ask what’s wrong, i answer in song
hey what rhymes with why don’t you call

but if everyone has someone
that’s always true sometimes
if everyone has someone
you’re mine
