Number in My Phone
Brandon Ratcliff Lyrics

You were just pretty handwritin' on a napkin
At first, you were just a shallow attraction, like pretty handwriting on a napkin.

I never thought anything would happen
Initially, I never expected anything to come out of that attraction.

But I couldn't let it go, yeah I had to know
I couldn't just let it pass without knowing if there could be something more.

If you were thinkin’ bout me like I was thinkin' bout you
I wanted to find out if you had the same level of interest in me as I did in you.

I played it cool for a couple days
I tried not to act too excited, and played it safe for a while.

But the feelin’ that you gave me never went away
Despite my efforts to remain calm, my feelings for you kept growing stronger.

I was hopin' that you might pick up
I wished that you would respond to my calls or texts.

I didn’t know that I'd be fallin' in love
I didn't expect to FALL in love with you, but it happened.

'Cause you were just a number in my phone
Initially, you were just a contact on my phone, with no special connection.

‘Til I called you up and we talked until
But after our first conversation, I felt a deeper connection with you.

You were a first date red wine kiss
Our first date was unforgettable, with red wine and a perfect kiss.

And you were stayin' later every night
After the first date, we started to spend more time with each other.

’Til you were an angel in my bed
We shared a physical intimacy that felt like nothing else mattered in the world.

Leavin' your clothes at my place
You left a part of you with me, symbolized by your clothes at my place.

You were the best damn thing I ever had 'til you were gone
You were the best experience of my life, until the day you were no longer there.

But now you're just another number in my phone
Now that you're gone, you're just another contact in my phone book.

Baby now I’ve gotta scroll through the photos
Now, I have to browse through our photos to relive the memories.

Like the one of us kickin' it in Soho
I remember our time together in Soho, captured in a photo.

You couldn't let me go, we were so close
We had a strong connection, one that was hard to let go of.

Had a fire so bright we could dim the city lights
We had such an intense passion for each other, that even the brightest city lights faded in comparison.

And that history don't just fade away
The history we had together cannot just evaporate, it stays with us forever.

Can't just hit delete and it's all erased
You can't just erase someone from your life, no matter how much you try.

Ain't sayin' it was a mistake
I don't regret our time together, it was all worth it.

But I could've saved myself the heartbreak
However, I realize that I could have saved myself from the pain of losing you.

The only one that I can't call
You are the only person I cannot call on my phone anymore.

Just a number in my phone
But now, you are just a phone number with no emotional significance.

Yeah baby now you're just a number in my phone
Now that you're gone, you are merely a digital contact without any sentimental value.

Just another number in my phone
In the end, you became just another entry in a long list of phone numbers.
