Ringing in My Ears (lyrics)

Why dont you pick up

I've been calling all night

No I ain't had enough 

Of hangin' on your line.

The last time we talked

Can't be the last time

So you gotta pick up,

And it's gotta be tonight.

I got your number in my head.

I hold my breath and count to ten.

Then I pick up my phone again.

I'm deaf with the ringing in my ears

And if you pick up,

Gonna put it all on the line

If I don't choke up,

And hang up before you say hi...

I got your number in my head.

I hold my breath and count to ten.

Then I pick up my phone again.

I'm deaf with the ringing in my ears.

What would I say

If I had my way?

What would you say,

If you answered me?

Why don't you pick up?

I'm gonna try all night.

I don't wanna give up.

Not gonna this time.

I got your number in my head.

I hold my breath and count to ten.

Then I pick up my phone again

and I can't feel it in my hand.

I got your number in my head.

The dial tone's my closest friend.

And I pick up my phone again.

I'm deaf with the ringing in my ears.
