Hala Phone Calls
Wake me up if you're feeling lonely
I'll be home getting drunk off irish whiskey
I don't live here but I guess that's alright
It's just where my body goes at night
I've seen the ocean, I've been to the nino
I think it's funny how they drink their poison so slow
And in the morning when the day ain't light
He'll jump the window in your bedroom out of sight
But if you've got a question you're dying to ask
And if you wish you could've left it in the past
I hope that you recognize that phone calls are commitments in these times
But it's worth it you know, because I love you
What's a boy supposed to do? When he's tangled up in all things blue
For the first time
I don't know what to do
I'll sing at meetings I'll go to war
Do all the things that made my dad proud before
I'll apply for school and vote for Bernie
I hope my GED gets me past my thirties
But if you've got a question you're dying to ask
And if you wish you could've left it in the past
I hope that you recognize that phone calls are commitments in these times
But it's worth it you know, because I love you
What's a boy supposed to do? When he's tangled up in all things blue
For the first time
I don't know what to do
