Tom Odell – Answer Phone (2023)

Three, four

Here I go again, wasting all my days away
It's a funny thing how some things never seem to change
27 years of age, head spin like a satellite
If you thought I was gonna behave tonight, you're wrong

I'm drunk, and I'm a mess
Dressed up like it's Halloween, dancin' alone to "Billie Jean"
Prayin' that somebody takes me home
Prayin' that, tonight, I won't have to sleep alone with your answering phone

Here I go again, wasting all my money, babe
It's a funny thing how some things never seem to change
I'm sick of all this cheap cocaine, I ain't got no appetite
If you thought I was gonna behave tonight, you're wrong

I don't wanna be a star
Famous on the party scene, dancin' alone to "Billie Jean"
Prayin' that somebody takes me home
Prayin' that, tonight, I won't have to sleep alone with your answering phone

Smile
Smile
Smile
Smile, even if you're feeling sad
