Did You Get My Message? - Audience Rehearsal; Live at Schubas Tavern, Chicago, IL, 2006

I was nervous that the heat was gonna take our tuning away from us
Eh, I think we did okay

Okay, uh, I'll just change the subject completely now
All of a sudden, let's do that
This one I don't normally get to, ah, play
I don't usually play this one, uh, by myself
But it's serious fun, uh, to do
I can do that 'cause I can

Well, did you get my message, the one I left?
Well, I was trying to condense everything that I meant
In a minute or less when I called to confess
And make all of my stresses go bye-bye
Did you get my message? You didn't, I guess
If you did, you would've called me with your sweet intent
And we can give it a rest 'stead of beating our breasts
And making all of the pressure go sky-high

I just had an idea, okay?
You guys know this song, obviously, very well
So you know, there's a part in the second verse
Where it goes like this: "Uh-oh, where did it go?"
(Must've bypassed your phone and flown right)
Okay, just that part: "Uh-oh, where did it go?"
(Bypassed your phone and flown)
No, no, no, this, okay
This is your part: "Uh-oh, where did it go?"

And I'll go, and I'll go: "Must've bypassed your phone
And flown right outta the window, oh well, how can I tell?"
Okay, and then there's a part later in the song
Alright, check it out when you listen to the song
You know, there's like this kind of: "Should you ever call back?"
You know that? (Yeah!)
K, and then there's, um: "Not much sand in the glass!"
You know that part? (Yes!)
K, and then, and then there's the: "Ha-ah"
You know that?

"Ooh-ooh, ha-ah" (ha-ah)
Very nice, now (ooh)
Very nice! Yeah, let's now, let's
Let's have a second part
Check this out, then we'll have another part
So like, every other person go: "Ha-ah, ooh-ooh, ha-ah"
Okay, and now other people (ooh)
All the other people do the answer
Okay so group one is this, go: "Ha-ah, ooh-ooh"

K, now if you want to be group two
This is what you'll do: keep singing group one
Ooh-ooh, ready? (Ah-ah)
Ha-ah (ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh (ha-ah)
Ha-ah (ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)
Ha-ah (ha-ah)
Ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)
Okay we got it, we know this

This is what we're gonna do
'Cause we're recording it
If you guys do those parts
Like: "Should you ever call back?"
And: "Uh-oh, where did it go?"
And the "ah's and ooh's" in the middle
And at the big ending
Then it'll sound like this friggin' crazy choir
'Cause we'll edit all the rehearsal stuff out
(Yeah, yes, leave it in!)

This could be the jam; this'll be good
Group one: ha-ah (ah-ah) ooh-ooh
Add group two: ha-ah (ah-ah) ha-ah (ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh (ah-ah) ahh
(Ah-ah, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Hoo-ooh, ooh-ooh
That's how we're gonna end, okay? Everybody go crazy
Okay here we go
Thank you, pretend I'm coming out of the first song
Thank you

(Yummy)
Yummy, alright, here's another one we can try
What would be a good thing to say in front of that?
I dunno
Ah (here's one you might know)
Here's one you might know
Let's do that, I like it
I'll give you some... five bucks for that one

Whoop, check it out
(You can start over)
