A multi-voice transcript of Maroon 5's "Payphone" split among five speakers, each delivering fragmented lines about longing and broken relationships. The speakers repeat motifs of calling home from a payphone, burned bridges, and plans made for two, creating a chaotic, layered version of the original song.
I'm at a payphone trying to call home.
More of my chain got than I knew. Where are the times gone? Maybe it's all gone. Where are the plans we made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember the people we used to be.
It's even harder to picture that you're not there with me.
You said it's too late to make it.
A bit too late to try.
In that time, I was an orphan. Our bridges burned down. I wanted my lights. You turned out the light. Now I'm paralyzed. Don't tuck in that time when we called it love. But even the sunset in paradise.
I'm at a place I'm trying to go.
Home of my change.
I spent on you.
Where are the dogs gone, baby?
It's all wrong without a plans being made for you.
I may have a happy little accent, I must know behold the new right way.
All those fairy tales are full of shit. One more bundle, Song-Ze Yu, I'll be set.
Oh yeah, till it's back on tomorrow.
This is a plan. Yesterday and give you my love tomorrow, but you just give it away.
You can expect me to be fine, I can expect me to care.
I know I've said it before, but all of our bridges burned down. I close up my eyes, you turn out the light. Now I'm paralyzed, you're stuck in that time when we called it love. But even the sun sets in paradise.
Where are the best fun times to go?
Oh no, they changed last day on you.
Where are the times gone, baby?
It's all wrong. Where are the plans we made for two?
If happy ever after didn't exist, I would still be holding you like this.
All fairy tales are full of shit.
One more fun Saying that what before, gonna pull down that lamp off the floors.
There's not more what we're looking for. Now it's me, one of the team, got that clear option.
When everything's on trying to go home, hope may change as planned on you. Never a time to stop, hey, it's all from where it can't be made more to.
If happy ever after, then extend.
