Arctic Monkeys – Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High? Lyrics

Album on AM

[Verse 1]
The mirror’s image tells me it’s home time
But I’m not finished, ’cause you’re not by my side
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leavin’
Carryin’ your shoes
Decided that once again I was just dreamin’
Of bumpin’ into you

[Chorus]
Now, it’s three in the mornin’
And I’m tryna’ change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
And to my message, you reply
“Why’d you only call me when you’re high?”
“Hi, why’d you only call me when you’re high?”

[Verse 2]
Somewhere darker, talkin’ the same shite
I need a partner, (High) well are you out tonight?
It’s harder and harder to get you to listen
More I get through the gears
Incapable of makin’ alright decisions
And having bad ideas

[Chorus]
Now, it’s three in the mornin’
And I’m tryna’ change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
And to my message, you reply (Message, you reply)
“Why’d you only call me when you’re high?”
(Why’d you only call me when you’re)
“Hi, why’d you only call me when you’re high?”

[Bridge]
And I can’t see you here, wonder where I might
It sort of feels like I’m runnin’ out of time
I haven’t found all I was hopin’ to find
You said you got to be up in the mornin’
Gonna have an early night
And you’re startin’ to bore me, baby
“Why’d you only call me when you’re high?”

[Outro]
“Why’d you only ever phone me when you’re high?”
“Why’d you only ever phone me when you’re high?”
“Why’d you only ever phone me when you’re high?”
“Why’d you only ever phone me when you’re (high)?”
