Sometimes She Doesn't Call Back

She said, "Now now now now now now"
I know what she meant
Once we got just a little bit older
I thought it might make a little more sense
She says she still loves the Unity songs
She says she still has some negative friends
She said, "It's two in the morning and I wake up at seven
We should both go to bed"
She turned the radio off and she smiled
And we both shook our heads
Now we can keep driving around this tangled town
Or I can just drop you off at your sister's
I think she lit that last cigarette
So I didn't try to kiss her

She said, "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah"
I know what she means
"I go to work, I go home, I go to sleep
I dream these black and white dreams
Goddamn, man, is this the whole plan?
Banging on those muddy machines?
Stopping in the stores to see if they got
The stuff from the magazines?"
So we keep checking in on each other
Midnight message "Darling, how you been?"
Sometimes she doesn't call back
I think that that's when she's happy
When she sighs, it seems like a hurricane
Roller blackouts, fading flashers
And onward we soldier with faith in the future
She said it's best to accept it
She only dreams when she sleeps
I took her back to her sister's
And when I turned on the street

She said, "No no no no no no"
I know it might be goodbye
She turned the radio on
And it was time for me to fly
Into faraway eyes
In the lights, I'm dying
That's when I saw she was crying

Sometimes she doesn't call back
I think that that's when she's happy
Sometimes she doesn't call back
I think that that's when she's happy
Sometimes she doesn't call back
I think that that's when she's happy
I think that that's when she's happy
I think that that's when she's happy
I think that that's when she's happy
Sometimes she doesn't call back
I think that that's when she's happy
Sometimes she doesn't call back
I think that that's when she's happy
Sometimes she doesn't call back
