Heavy eyes, face stressin' on the speakerphone
I fell asleep, and I woke up to a dial tone
I miss the words that you said when we didn't speak
You told me when you left you'd always be with me

I cut the sadness out in the evergreen
I thought I cut you now, and you can't ever leave
But you let me walk away, you didn't say a fuckin' word
Had to grab my own spine and pretend it didn't hurt

It was a wake up call
The dead of night and I'm screaming in the hall
Can we just go back to before I knew?
It'd be my first new year without you
It was a wake up call
The night I put both of my fists through the wall
In hopes that I could pull you back through
It's gonna be a damn long year
Without you

It was a wake up call, and I miss you but
I never miss the butterflies that you left dead in my gut
I poured that cracked glass full till it overflowed
It's just a sign of the times, now that I'm letting you go
It's just a wake up call to put you to rest
Crying knowing this is my last time watching you get dressed
Holding that empty glass and the clock, he says
I'm going home screaming: Fuck it, I wish you the best, oh

It's just a wake up call
(It's just a wake up call)
(It's just a wake up call)
It's just a wake up call
It's just a wake up call
