Sam Tsui - Payphone / Telephone Lyrics






I'm at a payphone trying to call home
(Hello hello baby, you called? I can't hear a thing)
All of my change I spent on you
(Cause I have got no service in this club, you say? say?)
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
(Wha-wha-what did you say, huh? you're breakin' up on me)
Where are the plans we made for two?
(Sorry I cannot hear you I'm kinda busy)

I know it's hard to remember,
The people we used to be...
It's even harder to picture,
That you're not here next to me.
You say it's too late to make it,
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
(Stop telephonin' me)
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
(Stop telephonin' me)
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
(Stop callin', stop callin', I don't wanna think anymore)
All of my change I spent on you
(I left my head and my heat on the dancefloor)
Where have the times gone, (stop callin, stop callin')
Baby it's all wrong (I don't wanna talk anymore)
Where are the plans we made for two?
(I left my head and my heart on the dance floor)

If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
(Call all you want, but there's no one home, and you're not gonna reach my telephone)
I would still be holding you like this
(Out in the club, and I'm slipping that bubb, and you're not gonna reach my telephone)
All those fairy tales are full of it.
One more stupid love song, I'll be sick

Oh, you turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday.
I gave you my love to borrow,
But you just gave it away.

You can't expect me to be fine,
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before,
But all of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights,
(Stop telephonin' me)
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
(Stop telephonin' me)
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone (stop callin' stop callin')
Trying to call home (I don't wanna talk anymore)
All of my change I spent on you
(I left my head and my heart on the dancefloor)
Where have the times gone (stop callin' stop callin')
Baby it's all wrong (I don't wanna think anymore)
Where are the plans we made for two?
(I left my head and my heart on the dancefloor)

If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
(Call all you want, but there's no one home, and you're not gonna reach my telephone)
I would still be holding you like this
(Out in the club, and I'm slipping that bubb, and you're not gonna reach my telephone)
All those fairy tales are full of it.
One more stupid love song, I'll be sick

Now I'm at a payphone
It's not that I don't like you
I'm just at a party
And I am sick and tired of my phone r-ringing

Sometimes I feel like I live in grand central station
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls
'Cause I'll be dancin', dancin'

Hey I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
It's hard to look right, at you baby
But here's my number.

And I'm at a payphone
(Stop callin, stop callin')
Trying to call home
(I don't wanna think anymore)
All of my chance I spent on you
(I left my head and my heart on the dancefloor)
Where have the times gone
(Stop callin', stop callin')
It's hard to look right,
At you baby,
(I left my head and my heart on the dance floor)
But here's my number.

If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
(Before you came into my life I missed you so bad)
I would still be holding you like this
(Before you came into my life I missed you so so bad)
But all those fairy tales are full of it
Another stupid love song, I'll be sick

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

I left my head and my heart on the dancefloor

    Just a second, its my favorite song they gonna play

    And you're not gonna reach my telephone

    Call all you want, but theres no one home
    And you're not gonna reach my telephone
    'Cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb'
    And you're not gonna reach my telephone

    Boy, the way you blowin' up my phone
    Won't make me leave no faster
    Put my coat on faster
    Leave my girls no faster

    I should've left my phone at home
    'Cause this is a disaster
    Callin' like a collector
    Sorry, I cannot answer

    Not that I don't like you, I'm just at a party
    And I am sick and tired of my phone r-ringing
    Sometimes I feel like I live in Grand Central Station
    Tonight I'm not takin' no calls, 'cause I'll be dancin'

    'Cause I'll be dancin'
    'Cause I'll be dancin'
    Tonight I'm not takin' no calls
    'Cause I'll be dancin'

    Stop callin', stop callin', I don' wanna think anymore
    I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
    Stop callin', stop callin', I don't wanna talk anymore
    I left my head and my heart on the dance floor

    Stop callin', stop callin', I don' wanna think anymore
    I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
    Stop callin', stop callin', I don't wanna talk anymore
    I left my head and my heart on the dance floor

    Stop telephonin' me

    Call me maybe: The flashback of them first met

    wow 👌👍👍👍💐💐💐👏👏👏👏

  82. A.... P....

    He's about to get another subscriber.

  83. S.... C....

    Great job. I'd love to see a version of this where you let Adam Levine sing the Payphone lines. I like your telephone, but it's impossible to live up to Adam's voice on those lines. So if you're going for the best sound, let Adam do his part and you do payphone and this would go down in history. Beautiful!!

    S.... C....

    This isn't an insult, before triggered people spam me all angry to inform me this guy is fine and this version is amazing, which I agree with. I'd love to hear the sound of him and Adam in a duet.

    S.... C....

    This cover is almost 6 years old, kind of doubt he's gonna read this

  84. M.... A....

    I love this! 😍

  85. S.... T....

    this is beautiful

  86. T.... S....

    I love how he added a 3rd song!!!

  87. E.... ....

    AaaaAaAaaAAAAhhhhhHHHH this is so gooooddd!!!!!

  88. H.... M....

    who still this on 2K17?? if you were please like this😃😆

  89. M.... ....

    i get the vibes of thinkin that he is gay because of his skin. so bright. like he uses makeup

  90. L.... ....

    Where'd Taylor Swift come from?

  91. T.... ....

    He looks like Mattshea

  92. K.... C....

    This mashup is just amazing, me and my friends are planning to perform it for GCSE but trying to work out the parts is kinda difficult lol
