Lyrics
Hey, uh... it's me. Sorry to call this late.
The spider lily on your counter's throwing a new leaf.
It's, what, Tuesday? Almost ten. The air's gone thick with slate.
Just... thinking 'bout the man I was. A stranger, in belief.
[Chorus]
And if you love this new wood, these new lines,

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Anyway. I'm rambling. I'll see you tomorrow.
(Sound of a call ending. Four seconds of silence.)
[Coda]
Just... wanted to say thanks. For the water.
