Cut The Cord - Canadian Softball/Hotel Books.mp3

[00:13.614]I never thought from all I've been taught
[00:15.117]That this would end as a failed connection
[00:17.318]A failed expression of what I thought
[00:19.048]Would be a way for me to escape
[00:20.551]But now I'm just here to wait
[00:21.806]Hoping fate won't dictate the inevitable
[00:25.065]This just feels like static stuck with no way
[00:28.076]To connect to this habit, this adapted rapture
[00:30.332]Free time falls back in line with the last of it
[00:34.350]But I can still hear her
[00:36.612]Flipping through channels of my mind hoping to understand
[00:39.379]Why this couldn't be the solution of my needs
[00:41.386]And having to say goodbye, sending my last words through a telephone
[00:45.370]Hoping the cords will make it from my home to her ear
[00:49.383]What I thought would be a three year commitment ended
[00:51.891]When someone more persistent promised to make things easier
[00:54.653]Now I feel so many tears for her as she spoke softly almost in a whisper
[00:59.658]And I replied I won't hit nine, I'll just leave a voicemail here
[01:02.711]I fear we're at the end and now this connection no longer seems clear
[01:06.497]I hate to demote to the last hope
[01:08.506]Without a universal way to put this power to this
[01:10.872]I feel like I'm stuck without a remote
[01:12.882]And no access to a package beyond the basics
[01:15.144]So let's face it, you didn't care about me
[01:18.013]As much as you said you would before I made this commitment
[01:20.237]And that's life I guess, but I'll face it because what option to I have
[01:23.132]Now that this analog relationship feels so outdated
[01:25.388]You used to be where I would turn to after a day of hard work
[01:30.734]An hour of sifting through monotonous misused paper work
[01:33.994]And fakes and jerks pretending to understand me like you do, it's true
[01:37.422]All that I saw in you was so vibrant and true
[01:40.683]I felt like Ted Danson, Tony Danza, Matthew Broderick
[01:42.759]And Mel Brooks could all be seen in you
[01:45.770]And that's something I could never say for the women I tried to relate to
[01:49.279]But I still can't seem to thank you
[01:50.782]Because despite the memories of late nights with you
[01:53.041]This is now just an unmoving static, and I can't handle it
[01:59.108]So I'll make it quick and I'll make it quiet
[02:01.615]No need for a final broadcast, I never want to see you
[02:05.637]Because there's no love when it's just a pay-per-view
[02:08.148]When you get this voicemail don't call back it's too late for that
[02:11.659]I'm already with someone else as a matter of fact
[02:14.822]So I'll just come out and say I'm leaving
[02:16.829]No drama, I'll make it fast
[02:19.852]My customer code is 77892, and I would like to discontinue my cable services with Comcast
