Don't Hang Up Yet

[Intro]

(Piano) Don't hang up yet... (mm)

[Verse 1]

Three-twelve, and the ceiling's gone quiet,

You picked up on the very first ring;

You didn't ask why, didn't try to fix it,

Just read me your cereal box like a hymn.

[Chorus]

Don't hang up yet,

I'm not okay, but I'm closer than I was;

Stay on the line, just breathe for a while,

Tell me something silly, I might even smile;

Don't hang up yet —

The night is long, but you're making it shorter.

[Verse 2]

You played me that song through your speaker,

Off-key on the part you never knew;

I could hear your kettle, your neighbor's dog barking,

Every little sound saying "I'm here with you."

[Chorus]

Don't hang up yet,

I'm not okay, but I'm closer than I was;

Stay on the line, just breathe for a while,

Tell me something silly, I might even smile;

Don't hang up yet —

The night is long, but you're making it shorter.

[Bridge]

(Choir) We're still here — (We're still here)

Every friend who ever picked up the phone;

(Choir) We're still here — (We're still here)

You were never, ever on your own.

[Final Chorus]

Don't hang up yet,

I'm not okay, but I'm closer than I was;

Stay on the line, just breathe for a while,

Tell me something silly, I might even smile;

Don't hang up yet —

Look outside, the sky is turning gold;

(Choir) Don't hang up yet —

I've got a little more sunrise to hold.

[Outro]

(Piano) ...Okay. Now you can go. (Mm.) Thank you.
