[Intro]
You have one missed voice message

[Verse]
Hey, sorry, I didn't mean to miss your call
The radio was busted, air was frozen, I couldn't hear at all
The time we spent together was short-sighted and sad like the vision
Of a seltzer bottle's contours between my homework and in-division, like

I woke up in the morning feelin' like I couldn't breathe
But would that really be so bad? Living lifeless and so free, because
When I was younger, they'd say, "You should follow your dreams"
But then they'd shoot it down and say, "that wouldn't let me be free"

Just so many taxes and so many bills to pay
And how do you expect to get a job with this failure you call your grades?
Against common belief, I'm not a magic man, I'm altogether now
But I'm trying my best, so damn loud, proud, but not allowed

Why can't you just leave another message for me?
You've been silent for seven years, livin' wild, mon ami
Je me sens si vide et seul sans toi, that means
I feel so empty and alone without ya
But I guess reminiscing on the past is why I'm still
Around to reminisce on said past, but a bit faster
'Cause with each passing year that seltzer gets a little bit fuller
Like a cloudy sky, a storm brew, a tornado of age

[Outro]
Look, whenever you get a chance, can you just call me back?
It'd be nice to hear from you again
You have my number
Goodbye

The number you are trying to reach has been disconnected
Thank you
