Call It What You Want - Fastbacks

Called a friend of mine today

Just wanted to see how he was

He let the phone ring though he was home

It’s just something that he does

I would have asked him what was new

If there’d been trouble he’d been through

Was he working or been to school

Was there something he’d like to do?

He’s alone he doesn’t care

Say’s it’s how he wants to be

Says he like a lonely day

Say’s he’s better off that way

Looked in his room from dawn to dusk

No one knows just what he does

He wasn’t seen for one whole year

No-one wondered where he was

He’s home from work he makes his dinner

Reads a book, turn on the news

He’s got a door but doesn’t need one

Has a car he’ll never use

Never goes out at night

I’ll stay home, thanks I’ll be just fine

But that’s not how it always was

He used to do things all the time
