Pick up the phone,
You’ve already told all your friends.
Pick up the phone,
They’re just two more people,
Pick up the phone,
Who happen to be related to you.
8 5 6,
Why is this so difficult?
5 5 5,
Just start by saying it.
5 5 5 5,
You know they love you.
It’s ringing once…
Why are you trembling?
It’s ringing twice…
Two less things to hide!
It’s ringing thrice…
They said “no secrets!”
“Mom, Dad, I like…”
Here it comes!
“Mom, Dad, I’m not…”
The bombshell!
“Mom, Dad, I’m different...”
…it’s far too terrifying to say for real.
