Solitaire. I’m gettin’ good at solitaire
I’ve got lots of times to spare
I’m gettin’ good without you here

Telephone, I’m good at listenin’ for the phone
I’m good at hopin’ you call home
I’m good at listenin’ for the phone.

I’m gettin’ good at thinkin’ of you
I’m doin’ well at cryin’ too
I could be the best at bein’ blue
I’m gettin’ good at missin’ you.

Bedroom walls, I’m good at starin’ at the walls
Dreamin’ footsteps in the hall
I’m good at starin’ at the walls.

I’m gettin’ good at thinkin’ of you
I’m doin’ well at cryin’ too
I could be the best at bein’ blue
I’m gettin’ good at missin’ you.

I’m gettin’ good at thinkin’ of you
I’m doin’ well at cryin’ too
I could be the best at bein’ blue
I’m gettin’ good at missin’ you…
