I lied about a flat tire so I could hear your voice
I told you you're the last person I called
I used every holiday to wish you well
Used the last one up right as they dropped the ball

And yeah, I know it's been getting out of hand
Might seem excessive, like I haven't taken any space at all

I keep crossing more excuses off my list of reasons to call you
I keep stumbling upon the things you left in corners of my room
I know that I'm not even being that convincing
I'm done with all the stories neither one of us believes in
I won't waste your time
I can't keep feeling like I'm losing you again
So I'll only call you on days that end in a-y
On days that end in a-y

I know I call too many times
But my pet goldfish just died
He was such a good guy
I don't wanna be alone tonight

Yeah, I don't wanna call you just a friend
Or just a season, so I got you on speed dial number five

I keep crossing more excuses off my list of reasons to call you
I keep stumbling upon the things you left in corners of my room
I know that I'm not even being that convincing
I'm done with all the stories neither one of us believes in
I won't waste your time
I can't keep feeling like I'm losing you again
So I'll only call you on days that end in a-y
On days that end in a-y

(Ooh)
Did we lose our connection?
I swear I'm only checking
(Ooh)
I hate us being less than
What we used to be

I keep crossing more excuses off my list of reasons to call you
I keep stumbling upon the things you left in corners of my room
I know that I'm not even being that convincing
I'm done with all the stories neither one of us believes in
I won't waste your time
I can't keep feeling like I'm losing you again
So I'll only call you on days that end in a-y
On days that end in a-y
I'll stop pretending
On days that end in a-y, a-y
I'll only call you
