Take A Number by The Small Calamities Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want to feel the thing I felt for you for anybody else
I want to wake up early, go to the gym…
I want to be that kind of guy
But that was not part of the plan, yeah, that was never meant to be
I can't go back to your apartment but i used to have the key to you
[Verse 2]
You say you me want to play cool shit but all I want to do is write mainstream pop
It's not a sellout if it's true
I'm trying to forget but I remember every day that
It's hard to write new poems when there's nothing left to say to you
[Chorus 1]
So take the couch
I'll take the floor
I'll keep your contact
I've kept everyone's since 2004
I don't know what for
Wishin' that i lost your number
So I could blame it all on time
So I could blame a memory
So I could blame anything but me
Take a, take a, take a, take a number
Take a, take a, take a, take a number
[Verse 3]
I was thinking about your eyes and the inevitable death of every star up in the sky and every person that iIve met
Not every number that I've kept even holds some recognition
And of these strangers I collect, yeah, you're the only one i'm missing
[Chorus 2]
So take the couch
I'll take the floor
I'll keep your contact
I've kept everyone's since 2004
I don't know what for
Wishin' that i lost your number
So I could blame it all on time
So I could blame a memory
So I could blame anything but me
Take a, take a, take a, take a number
Take a, take a, take a, take a number
[Bridge]
I could take a, take a, take a salsa class
They're every Wednesday
They're not too expensive and I think it'd be healthy to put myself out there
I'll take the dance floor like it's 2004
I don't know what for
[Coda]
Wishin' that i lost your number
So I could blame it all on time
So I could blame a memory
So I could blame anything but me
Take a, take a, take a, take a number
Take a, take a, take a, take a number
Take a, take a, take a, take a number
Take a, take a, take a, take a number
I want to feel the thing I felt for you for anybody else
I want to wake up early, go to the gym…
I want to be that kind of guy
But that was not part of the plan, yeah, that was never meant to be
I can't go back to your apartment but i used to have the key to you
