This is a phone number to
You should have chose
You're making me and breaking me
I tried to be like you
And knocked down she wants you to
And I
When you fall asleep tonight
Because you dream of me

That's why I'm not asleep right now; I can barely open my eyes
Now the telephone rang when you weren't getting any answer
You said you know she slept with him
Fuck the rain I'll walk back home

I can't find you
I can feel you're here
And now when you fall asleep you'll think tonight
You might just dream of me

That's why I'm not asleep right now; I can barely open my eyes
Now the telephone rang when you weren't getting any answer
You said you know she slept with him
Fuck the rain I'll walk back home

That's why I'm not asleep right now; I can barely open my eyes
Now the telephone rang when you weren't getting any answer
You said you know she slept with him
Fuck the rain I'll walk back home (x2)

The 1975

The 1975 consists of Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (lead guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass), all of whom are from Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. The four band members, now based in Manchester, met in Secondary School and began playing together as teenagers.

The eclectic four-piece band have amorphous drifts between brooding art rock, crisp electronica, dancefloor R&B, and 80’s gloss pop, as well as lead singer Matthew “Matty” Healy’s stories of lust, intoxication, and the unabashed grittiness of modern youth. Common themes in their lyrics range anywhere from dysfunctional relationships, to the failure of modernity.

Throughout 2012, The 1975 released multiple EPs, which sparked the start of their careers. The following year, 2013, their self-titled debut album took the world by storm. From 2014 until 2015 the band’s focus was on touring, though they did reveal through photos on social media that their next sound would reflect a departure from their previously black-and-white aesthetic.
