Call Me Back
Longing Across Miles: A Tale of Dreams and Regret
Lyrics
I was 3,000 miles away
Distance separated us by 3,000 miles
You were home and always missing me
You were at home and consistently missed me
I had plans that bigger than your's
I had aspirations larger in scope than yours
You always knew I’d take this course
You were always aware that I'd choose this path
I had you running away running away, everyday yeah
I caused you to run away daily
Running away, everyday yeah
Repeated idea of you running away daily
So tell me if you’re ever coming back
Asking if there's a chance of your return
Don’t be a stranger you know where I’ll be at
Encouraging you not to be a stranger because I'll be here
I was crazy to give up what we had
Regretting giving up what we shared
I’ll be ready, when you call me back
Prepared to respond when you reach out to me
Oh, oh
Expressing an emotion (possibly longing or anticipation)
Call me back
Requesting for a callback
Oh, oh
Repeated request to be ready when contacted
I'll be ready when you call me back
Expressing readiness upon receiving a call back
You were 3,000 days too late
You were late in realizing our connection (symbolic of a missed opportunity)
I came home thinking you were my soulmate
I returned home expecting you to be my perfect match
But I have dreams that are bigger than yours
My ambitions exceeded what you envisioned
You couldn’t handle me when I was torn
You couldn't handle me when I was in emotional distress
I had you running away running away, everyday yeah
Causing you to run away daily (repeated idea)
Running away, everyday yeah
Continuation of the idea of you running away daily
Oh, oh
Expressing an emotion (possibly longing or anticipation)
So tell me if you’re ever coming back
Asking if there's a possibility of your return
Don’t be a stranger you know where I’ll be at
Encouraging you not to be distant because I'll be here
I was crazy to give up what we had
Regretting the decision to let go of our relationship
I’ll be ready, when you call me back
Prepared to respond when you reach out to me (repeated idea)
Oh, oh
Expressing an emotion (possibly longing or anticipation)
Call me back
Requesting for a callback (repeated idea)
Oh, oh
Repeated request to be ready when contacted
I'll be ready when you call me back
Expressing readiness upon receiving a call back (repeated idea)
Remember when I said that I'll be waiting for you?
Recollection of promising to wait for your return
It's far too late now that I lied awake for you
Realization that waiting for you was a lie
All these years I was hoping,
Throughout the years, I held hope for your return
That you'd come back to me
Hopeful for your reunion with me
So tell me if you’re ever coming back
Asking if there's a possibility of your return
Don’t be a stranger you know where I’ll be at
Encouraging you not to be distant because I'll be here (repeated idea)
I was crazy to give up what we had
Regretting the decision to let go of our relationship (repeated idea)
I’ll be ready, when you call me back
Prepared to respond when you reach out to me (repeated idea)
(oh, oh) So tell me if you’re ever coming back
Repeated request to be ready when contacted
Don’t be a stranger you know where I’ll be at
Expressing readiness upon receiving a call back (repeated idea)
I was crazy to give up what we had
Regretting the decision to let go of our relationship (repeated idea)
I’ll be ready, when you call me back
Prepared to respond when you reach out to me (repeated idea)
