yea I know I got problems
but who said I want to solve them
just cause you can go on and point ’em out
doesn’t change the fact you’re the one i needed out
I’m keeping score in this argument
not so we know who will lose or win
every insult I breathe it in
forgive, forget, but then I’m referencing
every little word
from your pretty little mouth
when I’m staring at my phone
and I still can’t figure out
how I got up to the point
where I wanna make a call
to the person who I miss
but they don’t think of me at all
ain’t that pathetic
a man held down to some digits that aren’t present
this isn’t love
it’s her guest list
and I’m not even the number one preference
I keep the ring on low
and lose sleep to know
a call ain’t coming in
dreams are my medicine
it’s a place to hide
from the morning light
when that feeling sinks in
I doubt you’re alone in bed
Chorus
I know I’m better off
on my own
You’d clearly rather be
on your own
but you keep coming back
on your own
I make the call
you run back home
I don’t blame me for trying
I don’t hate you for lying
we just need to be
all alone
on our own
I don’t know why you answered
I don’t know why i sent it
but your quick reply
catches my eye
concern in your tone
convo postponed
she sleeping over the next night
interrupted by the cell light
see the master in action
its familiar reactions
I didn’t have my phone
I didn’t see the call
yes I’m alone
she drifts down the hall
that’s when I see it
my future is the past
shes smiles for no reason
I’m afraid to ask
chorus
I keep the ring on low
and lose sleep to know
a call ain’t coming in
dreams are my medicine
it’s a place to hide
from the morning light
when that feeling sinks in
I doubt you’re alone in bed
chorus

REED is a songwriter/producer out of Philadelphia, creating haunting music with a heavy emphasis on the specifics. Ben Reed, born in Chadds Ford, PA, began releasing his own style of Electro-Soul earlier this summer, and continues to produce tracks that infect your memory with catchy hooks enhanced by relatable, detailed lyrics. Reed is a self-taught guitarist and pianist, who writes, sings, produces, and masters all his own material. Formerly of an acoustic songwriting-duo, Reed played numerous shows along the East Coast, and gained a respectable following nation-wide via local radio play and social media sites. In late 2011, after moving back to Pennsylvania from a 2 year stay for a job in Huntington Beach, CA, REED purchased a new Taylor guitar and began writing music again, but this time expanding to a newer, unique sound by combining electro, soul, rnb, and pop.
