I'm Phoning It In Lyrics

Cue the strings and I'll

Try and ring out a teardrop on command

I've played this show too many times

I'd like to burn it to the ground

Do I ever hear myself

The patience wearing thin

Ghosting through the days

I'm phoning in it

I know you've heard it all before

Worse yet you've heard it better

This is a copy of the copy

And the mistakes are getting bigger

The last line is telegraphed

Obvious as it's been

Long stopped caring how it looks and

I'm phoning it in

You know at once when the change will come

From the first note I left

There's no distance left to cover

No going left to get and

I've been running down the clock

Since starting this thing

Going through the motions

And I'm phoning it in

I'm fading by the minute

I've disappeared within

You'll see long before I've finished that

I'm phoning it I'm phoning it I'm phoning it in
