Your Number's Still in My Phone — Lyrics

I still got your number, mama, saved on a home in my phone
And some nights when I can't take it, I just call and I feel alone
It rings out to your voicemail, that same old message you made
You've reached me, leave a message, I'd give anything to hear you say
Your number's still in my phone, and I call to hear you talk

Leave a message after the tone to a love that death couldn't stop
I know you're never gonna answer, I know it's just a recording alone
But it's the closest thing to holding you
Your number's still in my phone

My wife says maybe let it go now, maybe free up that old space
But how do you delete a mother?
How do you erase a face?
So I'll keep paying for the silence, catch that line you'll never know
Cause as long as I can dial it, you ain't all the way gone
Your number's still in my phone, and I call just to hear you talk

Leave a message after the tone to a love that death couldn't stop
I know you're never gonna answer, I know it's just a recording alone
But it's the closest thing to holding you
Your number's still in my phone

One day the company will cut it, give your number to someone new
And a stranger's gonna answer on the line that led to you
So I'll call you while I still can, till that final dial tone
Your number's still in my phone, and I call till the day I'm gone
Leave a message after the tone, mama I'm still your little boy at home
I know you're never gonna answer, but love don't need to fall
Still every time I miss you, your number's still in my phone

Your number's still in my phone
