Hello

Hello: it’s me
I was wondering if after all these years I’d get 4G
But I’m still stuck on low speed
They say that time is all that’s needed
But I won’t bet on seeing it

Hello; can you hear me
I’ve been trying not to dream of landline quality
When we were younger and free
Of incessant cell phone usage as far as we can see

There is no difference with who calls us
The connection always sucks

Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I’m sorry for my call breaking up
But when I call it never seems to link up
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I’ve tried
To find an escape from this cell phone dead spot
But it don’t matter: it clearly spans the whole block—even more

Hello: how are you?
It’s so typical for me for calls to always drop: I’m sorry
Can you hear me now?
Your voice is all distorted like an echoing steel drum

It’s no secret that all carriers
Have lousy coverage

So hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I’m sorry that we couldn’t speak
But when I call the signal is always too weak
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I’ve tried
To find a way that we could finally talk
But it don’t matter: it clearly affects the whole block—even more

[repeat 4x]
(One one one one
Bar bar bar bar)
Even more

Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I’m sorry for my call breaking up
But when I call it never seems to link up
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I’ve tried
To find a way that we could finally talk
But it don’t matter: it clearly affects the whole block—even more
