Lyrics
You think that we connect
That the chemisty’s correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear
And now I’m stuck in the web
You’re spinning
You’ve got me for your prey…
Sorry I’m not home right now
I’m walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I’ll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I’ll call you back
You take advantage of what’s mine
You’re taking up my time
Don’t have the courage inside me
To tell you please let me be
Communication, telephonic invasion
I’m planning my escape…
CHORUS
And It’s all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls
Now it’s gone too deep
You wake me in my sleep
My dreams become nightmares
‘Cause you’re ringing in my ears
CHORUS
