Pager Love: 90s R&B

Your number's written on the back of a receipt

Beside the cup I left untouched beside my seat

I tell myself you might be driving through the rain

Then check the little screen and start that thought again

I said goodnight like I could let it go

Now every quiet minute moves so slow

I'm waiting by the phone, waiting on your call

Trying not to hope too much, trying not to fall

If you changed your mind, just let me know

But I keep the line clear, just in case you call

The evening news is talking to an empty room

Your jacket on the chair still holds a hint of your perfume

I pour a little tea, it cools before I drink

One small ring could change the way I think

I said goodnight like I could let it go

Now every quiet minute moves so slow

I'm waiting by the phone, waiting on your call

Trying not to hope too much, trying not to fall

If you changed your mind, just let me know

But I keep the line clear, just in case you call

Maybe you're deciding what you want to say

Maybe you got caught up and the hours slipped away

I won't make a promise that my heart can keep

But I'll leave the ringer on while I try to sleep

I'm waiting by the phone, waiting on your call

Trying not to hope too much, trying not to fall

If you changed your mind, just let me know

Still I keep the line clear, just in case you call

Just in case you call

I keep the line clear
