Lyrics
Thirty-one seconds in my pocket tonight Your voice in the speaker, soft and light You said call me back when you get a minute I never did, now I'm living in it Rain on the window, streetlights blur Thumb on the screen, I'm still not sure Play it one more time, hear you laugh Little piece of you I never gave back Delete, don't delete Heart skips a beat Voicemail I never deleted Your voice is the song I repeated Say my name like you used to say Let me hear it one more day Voicemail I never deleted Maybe some things are better completed In the dark with the screen aglow I'm holding on, don't let it go Saved it in a folder with no name Sunday night I play it just the same You said I miss that late-night drive Windows down and we felt alive I can hear the street behind your breath City noise and the cold left Almost called you in the spring Almost is a heavy thing Delete, don't delete Heart skips a beat Voicemail I never deleted Your voice is the song I repeated Say my name like you used to say Let me hear it one more day Voicemail I never deleted Maybe some things are better completed In the dark with the screen aglow I'm holding on, don't let it go Maybe I'll call, maybe I'll let it be Maybe you're listening, thinking of me Thirty-one seconds, a whole life inside A little bit of love I could never hide Voicemail I never deleted Your voice is the song I repeated Say my name like you used to say Let me hear it one more day Voicemail I never deleted Maybe some things are better completed In the dark with the screen aglow I'm holding on, don't let it go Thirty-one seconds Never deleted
