  • 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

    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?"

    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 havin' bad ideas

    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?"

    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 what I was hopin' to find
    You said you gotta be up in the morning
    Gonna have an early night
    And you're starting to bore me, baby
    Why'd you only call 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?
    Why'd you only ever phone me when you're (high)? Writer/s: Alex Turner
