I Pick Up the Phone

[Intro]
Dear so-and-so

[Pre-Chorus]
Uncomfortable
Uneasy
Self-conscious
Almost sleazy

[Chorus]
I pick up the phone and I, I don't call you
I pick up the phone and I, I don't call you

[Verse 1]
It's nothing that you say
It's nothing that you do
It's just how I feel
When I hang out with you

[Pre-Chorus]
Uncomfortable
Uneasy
Tense
Almost sleazy

[Chorus]
I pick up the phone and I, I don't call you
I pick up the phone and I, I don't call you

[Verse 2]
It's not that you judge
I don't feel like you do
It's just how my spine feels
When I stand next to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Uncomfortable
Uneasy
Self-conscious
A little bit sleazy

[Chorus]
I pick up the phone and I, I don't call you
I pick up the phone and I, I don't call you
I pick up the phone and I, I don't call you
I pick up the phone and I, I don't call you

[Verse 3]
But if anything important happened in my life
Like say, I had to get my children home from school
In the middle of the day safely and without fail
Or say, I had to get my signed sealed documents
To the kingdom on the other side on the mountains by midnight
Or I would lose all my virgin men
Or say, I had to get my beautiful mother across the holy river
And I could not do it by myself
It would be you that I call
Yes, you. Why?
Your word is good
Your word is good
Is gold
Is God
Is good
Marry me

[Outro]
A voice nearby said
"One rose is all I ever wanted, but you gave me many"
