Phones Lyrics

Fifteen, passenger van with a faulty
Taking you to the things that I forget
All the faces of my friends
All the places are

Everytime I go away
It gets harder to leave you, babe
Everywhere I go I've been there before
And I'm so tired of phones and losing your voice

Fifteen-hundred eighty miles from your bed
All these hardening thoughts fill my head
How many nights of mediocre shows?
How many fights and arguments on phones?

Everytime I go away
It gets harder to leave you, babe
Everywhere I go I've been there before
I'm so tired of phones and losing your voice

Everytime I go away
It gets harder to leave you, babe
And everywhere I go I've been there before
And I'm so tired of phones and losing your voice

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

These are the correct lyrics:

Fifteen passenger van (with a faulty hitch), taking me to the things that I forget: All of the faces of my friends, all of the places I have been. Everytime I go away, it gets harder to leave you, babe. Everywhere I go, I have been there before. I'm so tired of phones and living room floors. Fifteen hundred and eighty miles from your bed. All the disheartening thoughts filling my head: How many nights of mediocre shows? How many fights and arguments on phones? Everytime I go away, it gets harder to leave you, babe. Everywhere I go, I have been there before. I'm so tired of phones and living room floors. Oh, you.
