Phone Call Lyrics

The grey pages tell me it's tomorrow again
I looked all day Sunday for a model again
I shoulda known better
I should have called you

Pretend only good days were to follow from here
I held you up close, you were the model of a friend
I shoulda known better
I could have called you
I shoulda known better
I could have called you

I hope I don't need to touch the bottle again
Lead me around, I will follow
I hate the games we play
There's nothing in it
I'm older every day
I hope we win it

I should have called...

I shoulda known better
I should have called you
You
You

I shoulda known better, I should have called you...

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.
