Telephone

[Verse 1]
When you're bored you keep a diary, but you're mostly concerned with anarchy
You'd disagree with anybody's father over dinner
And I could count the ways that you hate this place but
Time would be better spent in another way

[Verse 2]
Outdone by a younger age
You're working at the bank making minimum wage
Tryna find love with a face you can fall asleep to every night

[Pre-Chorus]
And they've walked you home
Said goodnight and you closed the door
Cry 'till it's alright

[Chorus]
It's who you are when they're gone
They remind you you're alone
It's who you are when they're gone
Tell 'em off on your telephone

[Verse 3]
Some days‚ girl‚ you're winning
Focused and committed
Too tall for the ceiling
Run away‚ run away, run away, run away
Tell 'em what your Mom said
They'll only love you in bed
Just because he opened the door doesn't make him a saint

[Pre-Chorus]
And you could talk to the boys that are still up late
But time would be better spent in another way

[Chorus]
It's who you are when they're gone
They remind you you're alone
It's who you are when they're gone
Tell 'em off on your telephone

[Bridge]
Sleep tight‚ hold onto your dream for the night

[Chorus]
It's who you are when they're gone
They remind you you're alone
It's who you are when they're gone
Tell 'em off on your telephone

[Outro]
Summer wipe me away
Summer wipe me away
Till I'm just sunburnt with nothing to say
Watch you going I can't believe it ever got this close to love
I've been dreaming of it
