Trying to redial up our chemistry
But I just keep getting a busy tone
Your voice is just distant memory
Brought back to reality on the phone
Satellites carry our words in the air
But first we need our devices to pair
At the end of the day, what'll it take
For you and I to finally communicate
On the phone
On the phone
On the phone
Text, snaps, and socials is a choice
But they aren't the sound of your voice
So travel down the number road
And punch in my 7-digit code
When it rings and you don't answer
And all I get is a voicemail transfer
Discourage washes through my head
Trying to think back on the last thing you said
On the phone
On the phone
On the phone
I keep checking in my texts
And I don't see your name
I keep checking my voicemails
And I don't hear your voice
But if our numbers connect up above
And technology brings you to me
It'll bring a smile to my face
And I won't let you bring me down
To the ground
Trying to redial up our chemistry
But I just keep getting a busy tone
Your voice is just distant memory
Brought back to reality on the phone
On the phone
On the phone
On the phone
We were on the phone
