lyrics

and you said
"why'd you never ask me out"
here you are again
regretting my place in the friend zone

so i said
"why was i the afterthought?"
your repeated change in procedural
love was all i got

(ooo’s)
i said baby a word please
"your silence was all i heard, you see"
i’m sick of the “will we, won’t we?”
we’re still saying “if only”

*swing*
why'd you never call me back? (call me back)
we're swinging back and forth
always on this pendulum
*swing*
why'd you never call me back? (call me back)
we're swinging back and forth
get me off this pendulum

it always happens when the midnight day ends
you text me once for a conversation like
“hey, miss you, you wanna talk about my issues?”

“I wasn't put in an easy situation because I was your friend and always saw your relationships end
i saw how you hated your exes,
and all the people you texted" (THIS STUFF IS ALL CLAIRE)

ohhhh baby a word please
"your silence was all i heard, you see"
i’m sick of wasting time
thinking of how you could’ve been mine

*swing*
why'd you never call me back? (call me back)
we're swinging back and forth
always on this pendulum
*swing*
why'd you never call me back? (call me back)
we're swinging back and forth
get me off this pendulum
