She calls at 2am from three time zones away, and he watches the phone light up knowing he can't sleep anyway. By the time he answers, she's already said everything to the silence—just breathing into the receiver, the only proof either of them still exists.
Lyrics
Verse 1
You call when the whole world's dark
I answer like it's automatic
Your voice is static and starlight
I don't know which one I'm holding onto
Chorus
Dial tone, dial tone
It's the only song we know
How to keep each other close
When close is just a ghost
Dial tone, dial tone
Better than the silence alone
So we breathe into the phone
Pretend we're not so far from home
Verse 2
You tell me about your morning
While I'm watching midnight fall
I'm living in your yesterday
And you're sleeping through my now
But this broken clock between us
Keeps the only time that matters
Chorus
Dial tone, dial tone
It's the only song we know
How to keep each other close
When close is just a ghost
Dial tone, dial tone
Better than the silence alone
So we breathe into the phone
Pretend we're not so far from home
Bridge
I memorized the way you sound
When you're about to say goodbye
But you never do
You just stay
And I stay
Until the battery dies

Just don't hang up first
