The mirror's image Tells me it's home time But I'm not finished 'Cause you're not by my side And as I arrive I thought I saw you leaving Carrying your shoes Decided that once again I was just dreaming Of bumping into you Now it's three in the morning And I'm trying to change your mind Left you multiple missed calls And to my message you replied Why'd you only call me when you're high? Hi, why'd you only call me when you're high? Somewhere darker Talking the same shite I need a partner (aah) Well, are you out tonight? It's harder and harder to get you to listen More I get through the gears Incapable of making alright decisions And having bad ideas Now it's three in the morning And I'm trying to change your mind Left you multiple missed calls And to my message you replied (message you replied) Why'd you only call me when you're high? (Why'd you only call me when you're) Hi, why'd you only call me when you're high? And I can't see you here, wonder where I might (I might) It sort of feels like I am running out of time (time, time) I haven't found what I was hoping to find (find) You said you gotta be up in the morning Gonna have an early night And you're starting to bore me, baby Why'd you only call me when you're high? Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high? Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high? Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high? Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
