Lived in this apartment for a year
Finally got some pictures on my wall
Smiling faces of old friends
I know I'd forget to call
Pennsylvania lisence plate
Wonder if you know who's it was?
Wonder if it's obvious
Why now, and why this stuff?
Cause I've gotten enough texts by now
That just say "call me when you can"
To know it usually means that
Someone else has died
So I'm scrolling through my useless phone
In the middle of the night
Looking at the names I should have called
When they were alive
And the Doctor Seuss of Death
Will come for all your friends
With his silly bag of tricks
And words that don't make sense
And it starts in the lungs
And moves into the blood
When it gets into the bone
You lose the ones you love
And I've gotten enough text by now
That just say "call me when you can"
To know it usually means that
Someone else has died
So I'm scrolling through my useless phone
In the middle of the night
Looking at the names I should have called
When they were alive
