arkells - leather jacket - acoustic lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
hundreds of stories, before i showed up
and they tell them to me
and pull photos up
and they’re all connected
like a pair of handcuffs
no one seemed affected
that everyone is f+cked
but there was a softness
some kind of understanding
those 2am decisions
always shaky landings
and no one ever knew
what could be demanded
maybe it’s the cards
the cards that she was handed

[chorus]
you called mе up from a pay phone
i said “hang tight, i can drive you home”
i pullеd on up and with a southern accent
i offered you my dad’s leather jacket

[verse 2]
i met her at a party
she’d come straight from work
complained that the regulars
were all a bunch of jerks
she always looked tired
but she dazzled as a drunk
she even pulled off
that stupid hair cut
she said, “i don’t need a sponsor
or the best lover
some man that sees me
as some fixer+upper
the last few years
i’ve been running for cover
trying to sleep
so i can visit my mother”

[chorus]
you called me up from a pay phone
i said “hang tight, i can drive you home”
i pulled on up and with a southern accent
i offered you my dad’s leather jacket

[bridge]
when times were tough in the worst years
we never knew how to interfere
and now you’re back
and just unpacking
those bruised+up takers
you keep attracting

[verse 3]
in september
when it goes off
like some god d+mn
alarm clock
and it hits her
like a third shot
conversations she just stares off
there’s no longer a voice calling
when she goes out
saying, “i’ll be up waiting for you”

[chorus]
you called me up from a pay phone
i said “hang tight, i can drive you home”
i pulled on up and with a southern accent
i offered you my dad’s leather jacket

[bridge]
when times were tough in the worst years
we never knew how to interfere
and now you’re back
and just unpacking
those bruised+up takers
you keep attracting

[outro]
you call me up from a pay phone
you call me up from a pay phone
you call me up from a pay phone
you call me up from a pay phone
and i said, “who the f+ck uses a pay phone?”
