The phone rang viciously
Hollering expletives until answered
Screaming with urgency
When the phone yearns like that
You don't check caller ID
Some information was shared
That broke my heart for my caller
And broke my heart for the can
Of A&W; that hit the floor
Life is messy
And like soda on the underfoot
It gets real sticky if you can't clean it up
So I tried reasoning with them
But they didn't understand
They had no where to go but me
And I was expected to be the voice of reason
So like I have taken a liking to saying,
Breathe
Shut up
And listen
