Who’s on the Line Tonight

Låttext

[Intro] The phone rings once, then dies A pale mask waits where the hallway bends [Verse 1] You left one lamp beside the stairs A coffee cup still warming there The curtains breathe though windows lock A gloved hand counts each ticking knock Your name is carved across the glass A voice says, “Tell me where you are” You hold your breath behind the door But footsteps stop outside once more [Pre-Chorus] No answer, no escape The room forgets your face [Chorus] Who’s on the line tonight? Who’s waiting out of sight? One more step, the floorboards cry One more lie, and then goodbye The question circles through the hall A black robe leaning on the wall Who’s on the line tonight? Don’t turn around—just kill the light [Verse 2] The kitchen clock has lost its hands A silver blade reflects the plans You hear a laugh beneath the stairs Then silence folds around the chairs The front door swings, the chain gives way The porch is empty, washed in gray A shadow slips across the frame And every room repeats your name [Bridge] I’m not behind you I’m not below I’m in the question You already know [Chorus] Who’s on the line tonight? Who’s waiting out of sight? One more step, the floorboards cry One more lie, and then goodbye The question circles through the hall A black robe leaning on the wall Who’s on the line tonight? Don’t turn around—just kill the light [Outro] The phone rings twice, then stops The mask is gone The door is open And somewhere close A voice begins again
