Phoenix - Long Distance Call Lyrics






Where to go I had no idea
26.10 was the price to pay
A messed up kid with no ideals at all
I thought those 26.10 I shouldn't give'em away

I remember this young guy died and I took his part
He got far too many stitches on his pretty face
Long time to see but I always thought us two would be serious
I was looking around town, thinking the same as you

I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more

It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like I know

I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more

Where to go I had no idea about it
Most of the people do, their only doing just fine
I don't wanna stay in place no more, see
Ain't doing well well well, I am only doing just fine

Long time no see, long time no say
Got little to tell, I don't say much, but I might
Something always told me us two would be serious
I am looking around town, thinking the same as you, humm

I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more

It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like I know

I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more

It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like I know

I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more

Long time no see...
Long time no say...

  68. D.... W....

    To be French, they sound so American.

    D.... W....

    well thats italian

    D.... W....

    Ana Canaan There's a lot of french lyrics in Ti Amo (the album).

    D.... W....

    Sorta. There’s some vowels that sound French.

    D.... W....

    rock in roll is pretty brit-mericanish.. but dont go throwing up your flag of surrender. oh and thanks for the mayonaise and hollandaise

    D.... W....

    American ? Error: EUA.

    Paramore <3.
    I like this one, the voice makes it sound more blue and soul.
    Paramore makes it a new style most fresh.

  79. O.... ....

    I don't know why there's so much hate here about people mentioning Paramore, they did that cover in honor of Phoenix, they're fans too, like you guys.

  87. J.... K....

  88. A.... R....

    I didn't realize I'd be the only Paramore fan coming on over here ':D I'm personally thankful. I know Paramore doesn't sound like Phoenix and Phoenix doesn't sound like Paramore, but that's alright. Is Paramore's cover better than the original? Is the original better than Paramore? I don't really care. I'm just happy to discover new, good music. I love this band now and I'm thankful I heard a great cover that led me to it. Every man has his own opinion, please don't be a jerk about it.
