  • Are you sitting at home all alone trying to fall asleep?
    Are you staring a hole through your phone praying that it rings?
    Are you watching a movie that you've seen a thousand times?
    Or maybe playing some Mayer, getting lost in your favorite lines?

    Well, if you're anything like me
    You just might be doing whatever it takes to drown out the noise
    But I just wanna hear your voice

    I'm one number away from calling you
    I said I was through, but I'm dying inside
    Got my head in a mess, girl, I confess
    I lied when I said, "I'm leaving and not coming back"
    Might be the whiskey or the midnight rain
    But everywhere I go, I see your face
    In my brain, dialin' up everything I want to say
    But I'm still one number away

    Are you stuck at a red light with a Marlboro Light on your lips?
    Does the smoke in your mirror get clearer without my kiss?
    Are you changing the station, replacing our favorite song?
    Well, maybe it's a mistake, hit the brakes on the movin' on

    Well, if you're anything like me
    You just might be doing whatever it takes to outrun the storm
    But I'm almost out that door

    And I'm one number away from calling you
    I said I was through, but I'm dying inside
    Got my head in a mess, girl, I confess
    I lied when I said, "I'm leaving and not coming back"
    Might be the whiskey or the midnight rain
    But everywhere I go, I see your face
    In my brain, dialin' up everything I want to say
    But I'm still one number away

    And will you pick up when I call?
    Or just forget we loved at all?
    We don't have to talk, I just wanna hear your voice

    And I'm one number away from calling you
    I said I was through, but I'm dying inside
    Got my head in a mess, girl, I confess
    I lied when I said, "I'm leaving and not coming back"
    Might be the whiskey or the midnight rain
    But everywhere I go, I see your face
    In my brain, dialin' up everything I want to say
    But I'm still one number away
    Away, away
    Yeah, I'm still one number away Writer/s: Luke Combs, Robert Steven Williford, Sammy Mitchell, Steven Andre Battey
