After Love You

They talk about the week, the sink, the dog, the bill. Nobody says the real part. He stays on the line after "love you," because fine did not sound like fine. Lyrics ----- You pick up on the second ring I let the first one go You ask me how the week has been I give you half the week You laugh about a show you watched I laugh, a little late You say the sink is leaking now I say I know a guy We build a little list of things And none of them are you I hear you move the phone across Your shoulder to your ear The voice comes back a little thin You tell me you are fine I know the fine you use for me It sits above the real I tap the table while you talk So I do not say still Okay Love you Okay Love you Fine don't land the way it should Fine don't mean you're understood I stayed on after love you Talk to me the way you could You ask if I am eating right I turn it back on you You dodge it with a story from A Tuesday I already knew Somebody knocked, you let them wait You say that it can hold I picture you beside the door One hand still on the phone I almost say come stay with me I almost say I will The sentence gets as far as breath And dies against the sill You fill the quiet with the dog The weather, then the bill I love you in the easy words And miss you in the still I am still here You think the line is dead Say the part you dressed as fine Say the part instead Fine don't land the way it should Fine don't mean you're understood I stayed on after love you Put it down, I'm not gone yet Talk to me the way you could If I hang up, you will say it ended fine So I wait where the love you was Ask me again I will answer with the part I kept #AfterLoveYou #ChillVibes #SadRap #ChillStep #Rap #ElectronicMusic
