Does This Mean You're Moving On

  • And the funny thing is it has no end
    I try to call you up, at 2am
    In a crowded bar, your ringer tones
    Grab my mind

    I can see you through the phone,
    The phone, the phone
    And I'm wide awake at home
    At home, at home
    So think I'll seem like [unknown]
    And hope you don't catch
    The bourbon on my breath
    My breath, my breath

    Catch a cab outside on Seventh Street
    And the cars fly through the Bowery
    I come to your door and I hear a moan
    Then another voice, so Christ, she's not alone
    Alone, alone
    And my heart sinks like a stone
    A stone, a stone
    And the tears won't even come
    I feel so numb
    So swept aside, so dumb
    So dumb, so dumb

    When the words are wrong
    And my patience gone
    Will you tell me
    Does this mean you're moving on?

    From the balcony, you call my name
    I see you standing in the rain
    Your words so dry, your face so wet
    Said I broke your heart,
    But it hasn't happened yet
    I'll bet, your friends all hate me now
    I get the strangest looks,
    From that bitchy crowd
    And though, they must think
    They have every reason to
    I guess I'm still not quite yet over you

    When the words are wrong
    And you're hanging on
    Another guy's arm
    Does this mean you're moving on? Writer/s: MIKEL FRANS JOLLETT
