Phone Sex
J. Blue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Hello?)
You called and you wanted to know
How much would I give to you, and if
I had the chance to be next to you
How long would I hold out 'til making you weak
Fast-forward three mornings after we'd
Missed the chance to say more important things
We feel as if it's just meaningless

How long 'til we give up and look somewhere else
Hold on darling please
What we've got ain't real
Phone sex, if I'm honest, it's not something I'm okay with
Each and every promise feeling empty, honey screw this
Phone sex, pretty selfish never text me 'less you want this
Funny that, yeah that's funny that (funny that)
So easy to say yes to you
How can I resist all your promises
I'm feeling conflicted, maybe it's because we're addicted
To this fantasy baby, you and me, soon a memory
Tryin' to keep calm but I'm struck by your charm
What we got is a mystery, I'm sure by tomorrow you'll be
Onto the next I assume, I hope that I'm wrong to presume
But this is meaningless, so let's leave it to rest
I think it's best
Hold on darling please
What we've got ain't real
Phone sex, if I'm honest, it's not something I'm okay with
Call me after sunset thinking "Bet you'll really want this"
Phone sex, pretty reckless, saw you hide me on your friends list
Funny that (funny that), yeah that's funny that (funny that)
Phone sex, if I'm honest, it's not something I'm okay with
Each and every promise feeling empty, honey screw this
Phone sex, pretty selfish never text me 'less you want this

Funny that (funny that), yeah that's funny that (funny that)
(We really gotta stop doing this)

Line by Line Meaning

(Hello?)
Answering the phone, initiating a conversation

You called and you wanted to know
You reached out to inquire about something

How much would I give to you, and if
What extent am I willing to go for you, and whether

I had the chance to be next to you
Given the opportunity to be close to you

How long would I hold out 'til making you weak
How much self-control would I exhibit before causing you vulnerability

Fast-forward three mornings after we'd
Skipping ahead to three days later when we

Missed the chance to say more important things
Failed to express more significant matters

We feel as if it's just meaningless
We perceive it as lacking significance

How long 'til we give up and look somewhere else
When will we reach the point of abandoning this and searching elsewhere

Hold on darling please
Wait a moment, my dear

What we've got ain't real
Our current situation is not genuine

Phone sex, if I'm honest, it's not something I'm okay with
Engaging in intimate conversations over the phone is not something I'm comfortable with, to be honest

Each and every promise feeling empty, honey screw this
All the pledges made seem hollow and insincere, my dear, let's abandon this

Phone sex, pretty selfish never text me 'less you want this
Participating in intimate conversations for your own gratification, don't message me unless you desire this

Funny that, yeah that's funny that (funny that)
Ironically amusing, yes, it's amusing

So easy to say yes to you
It's effortless to agree with you

How can I resist all your promises
How can I refuse all the commitments you make

I'm feeling conflicted, maybe it's because we're addicted
I'm experiencing inner turmoil, perhaps due to our dependency

To this fantasy baby, you and me, soon a memory
To this illusion, my dear, our connection will soon become a memory

Tryin' to keep calm but I'm struck by your charm
Attempting to remain composed, but your allure captivates me

What we got is a mystery, I'm sure by tomorrow you'll be
Our relationship is uncertain, I'm confident that by tomorrow you will move on

Onto the next I assume, I hope that I'm wrong to presume
Moving on to the next person, I wish I'm mistaken in assuming

But this is meaningless, so let's leave it to rest
But this holds no significance, so we should conclude this

I think it's best
I believe it's the most suitable decision

Phone sex, if I'm honest, it's not something I'm okay with
Engaging in intimate conversations over the phone is not something I'm comfortable with, to be honest

Call me after sunset thinking "Bet you'll really want this"
Contact me later in the evening assuming that you'll truly desire this

Phone sex, pretty reckless, saw you hide me on your friends list
Indulging in intimate conversations audaciously, I noticed that you concealed me from your list of friends

Funny that (funny that), yeah that's funny that (funny that)
Ironically amusing, yes, it's amusing

(We really gotta stop doing this)
We truly need to cease engaging in this activity
