Lyrics

[Verse] Cellphone rang, was a wrong number Woman said sorry, but we spoke for an hour We were two strangers who grew fond of each other Talked every night, common things 'sides the weather [Chorus] She was Joanne, I set her caller I-D to Jo I was Joseph, but José's what her screen showed We fell in love, 'spite not seen any photos Was the mid-90s, that's how our sorry love goes [Verse] Then we found out, we lived bout four hours apart I mustered some courage, 'cide to ask her out Her trembling voice said okay, it was a midway diner Rode my Harley smiling, wondering if she'd let me kiss her [Identical Chorus] She was Joanne, I set her caller ID to Jo I was Joseph, but José's what her screen showed We fell in love, 'spite not seen any photos Was the mid-90s, that's how our sorry love goes [Verse] At the diner, couldn't find her, so we called each other She said she's at the same place, but there's no Joseph, no José either Then I asked the waitress, described Jo to her in detail Waitress turned pale, Jo's been dead since April [Verse] Picked up my phone, couldn't tell Jo what's on my mind Sat in the same booth with her, our shared space across timelines We ordered the same thing, laughed and cried through the speaker I knew I loved her, she was real and we're together [Verse] I dropped my burger, told Jo everythin' bout the accident It would happen one April morning, meant to happen but it didn't Then when we agreed to finally meet for real Her number's gone and I no longer remember [Identical Chorus] She was Jo, but I no longer remember I was José, but she no longer has my number We fell in love, how or why, no one knows Was the mid-90s, that's how our sorry love goes We fell in love, how or why, no one knows Was the mid-90s, that's how our sorry love goes
