Текст песни A Scent Like Wolves - Telephone

Оригинальный текст песни Telephone

Standing by the phone
Wondering if she’s not alone
You’ll haunt me like a ghost
In every town I walk, my shadow talks

Far, far away
I hear your voice in my memories
It was you and me
And I lie awake
Thinking what we could of been
Were we meant to be apart?

Come back home
I wasn’t waiting for tonight to call
I see your face in the window
Forgive me for what I’ve done
Take me back to twenty-one

Standing by the phone
Wondering if she’s not alone
You’ll haunt me like a ghost
In every town I walk, my shadow talks

This feeling - it’s rushing suddenly
I can’t escape my anxiety
Do you hear me calling?

Reaching, I’m falling
I can’t see in front of me
When all it used to be was chasing dreams
And honestly I acted selfishly

Subdue your tongue until the witching hour surpasses
Asphyxiate my words, reprimand my thoughts until the last breath blackens

Place your bets in the open hands of death
Your insecurities and past regrets will silence your wickedness

You’ve been waiting for my walls to crumble

Standing by the phone
Wondering if she’s not alone
You’ll haunt me like a ghost
In every town I walk, my shadow talks

This feeling - it’s rushing suddenly
I can’t escape my anxiety
Do you hear me calling?

Standing by the phone
Now I know that she’s not alone
Do you hear me calling?
Did you hear me calling?

Telephone” touches on the missed opportunities to connect with a person.
It’s about having the ability to reach out and speak your mind, but neglecting to do so - fearing the thought of rejection or being castaway.
The feeling of regret grows more as time passes by.
