Love Is Our Crown

The dynamics of power are an intriguing prospect. The perception of power having been gained through unjust and bizarre means further equates and calls into question what the perception of power truly means. Compounded with the push and pull of inter-relationship struggles, love, understanding and empathy, the concept of "Hanging on the Phone" both lyrically and conceptually is a multi-faceted metaphor in how all of these dynamics play out in the context of true life events.

Lyrics:
They say when you're just friends
A ghost come round, right back again
We're hanging on the phone
Cold nights are long
When you're all alone

Don't leave me with a busy dial-tone
Don't fake it whenever I call you
Baby, please come on home

Baby, just please come on home

They say when you make plans
Following shadows won't take you there
It's not just for pretend
Cause I know you'd wait
Just to meet me there

Don't leave me with a busy dial-tone
Don't fake it whenever I call you
Baby, please come on home

Baby, just please come on home

They're not just spinning shit
A war of emotion, noise, all of it
Your hand up on the dial
You turn it up for a little while

Don't leave me with a busy dial-tone
Don't fake it, whenever I call you
Baby, please come on home

Baby, please come on home
Baby, please come on home
Baby, please come on home

Hanging On the Phone

Forevermore
