lyrics
You wait for a fight, well he had it wrong.
And you're in for something out there; you've got to belong.
I don't know why you try to feel like you're alone.
Separate's always better when you use that tone.
Don't call me.
You look in my eyes
and out of control.
You're making me wish that I knew so much less than I already know.
Whether or not you know where I've been all along,
it seems like all my stories stay off and on.
Don't call me when you're alone.
You look for a fight, but what has gone wrong?
Because it's easier to shout than quietly move on.
I don't know why you make me feel like I'm alone. Separate's not much better when you have a phone.
Don't call me when I'm alone.
And you're in for something out there; you've got to belong.
I don't know why you try to feel like you're alone.
Separate's always better when you use that tone.
Don't call me.
You look in my eyes
and out of control.
You're making me wish that I knew so much less than I already know.
Whether or not you know where I've been all along,
it seems like all my stories stay off and on.
Don't call me when you're alone.
You look for a fight, but what has gone wrong?
Because it's easier to shout than quietly move on.
I don't know why you make me feel like I'm alone. Separate's not much better when you have a phone.
Don't call me when I'm alone.

about
The Ultrasounds Chicago, Illinois
Trendy music disingenuously proclaiming the pains of being an outsider is hardly scarce. However, saying something genuine in this arena requires actual experience; The Ultrasounds have improved tirelessly over the last decade, finally arriving at a new sound both dreamy and rooted in classic pop. ... more
