Last Call
Longing Across Miles: Yearning for Presence in "Last Call
Lyrics
My day starts at 9 pm
Starting the day at 9 pm.
That's when I hear your voice again
Hearing the person's voice again.
When we talk we always get along
Enjoying positive conversations with the person.
Feels like nothing ever could go wrong
Feeling like everything is going well.
Two years, two days talkin on the phone
Two years and two days of phone conversations.
How much longer will I be alone
Expressing loneliness and longing for companionship.
What we have right now is pretty clear
Current relationship status is clear.
But I need more than a voice in my ear
Desire for more than just a voice communication.
Let's be honest, we both need more
Acknowledging the mutual need for more in the relationship.
Nothing's gonna change until you show up here
Highlighting that change requires physical presence.
Standing at my door
Inviting the person to be present physically.
I sleep while you live your life ten thousand miles away
Emphasizing the physical distance and emotional struggle.
I worry, want, and wait
Expressing worry, desire, and anticipation.
I wish that you would come for me
Expressing a wish for the person to visit.
Oh-oh-oh
Expressing emotions with a vocal melody.
I won't say I miss you cuz it's not enough
Not directly saying "miss you" but acknowledging it's not enough.
But I know I can't go days without your touch
Recognizing the importance of physical touch.
My heart lays in the palm of your hand
Symbolizing vulnerability with the heart in the person's hand.
Hurry home, give it back, and be my man
Asking the person to return and commit.
I broke two rules when I met you
Reflecting on breaking personal rules for the relationship.
It's your turn, how 'bout you break a few
Encouraging the person to take risks as well.
Someday soon is what you always say
Expressing impatience and the need for action.
But I won't wait it has to be today
Rejecting the idea of waiting and emphasizing the present.
Let's be honest, we both need more
Reiterating the need for more in the relationship.
Nothing's gonna change until you show up here
Stating the importance of physical presence for change.
Standing at my door
Repeating the invitation for the person to be physically present.
I sleep while you live your life ten thousand miles away
Re-emphasizing the emotional and physical distance.
I worry, want, and wait.
Expressing ongoing emotions of worry, desire, and waiting.
I wish that you would come for me
Reiterating the wish for the person to come.
Oh-oh-oh
Repeating the expressive vocalization of emotions.
I won't say I miss you cuz it's not enough
Restating that saying "miss you" is insufficient.
But I know I can't go days without your touch
Acknowledging the necessity of physical touch.
My heart lays in the palm of your hand
Symbolizing vulnerability with the heart in the person's hand.
Hurry home, give it back, and be my man
Repeating the plea for the person to return and commit.
I sleep while you live your life ten thousand miles away
Re-emphasizing the emotional and physical distance.
I worry, want, and wait
Expressing ongoing emotions of worry, desire, and waiting.
I wish that you would come for me
Reiterating the wish for the person to come.
Oh-oh-oh
Repeating the expressive vocalization of emotions.
I won't say I miss you cuz it's not enough
