Lyrics
Play it everyday
Expressing the act of playing the song every day.
Boy what you do to me
Addressing the impact the person has on the speaker.
That we don't say a thing
Highlighting the unspoken nature of their connection.
I've been up all night
Indicating a restless night for the speaker.
Didn't mean to talk too much
Apologizing for talking excessively.
Oh it's easy for me to run
Expressing a tendency to avoid commitment or deep connections.
But I wanna get to know ya
Expressing a desire to know the person better.
I'll take a little bit more
Expressing a willingness to invest more in the relationship.
I'll take a little bit more
-Boy don't make me do this
Pleading with the person not to force the speaker into a difficult situation.
I ain't ever been the
Acknowledging a lack of experience in seeing relationships through.
One to see something like this through
-I wanna give it all to ya
Expressing a desire to give everything to the person.
I wanna give it all to ya
-Cause you know that I've been thinking
Contemplating the person's ability to understand the speaker's thoughts and seeking a change of mind.
Wonder if you read my thoughts
-Please change my mind this evening
-I need you I won't stop
Expressing a need for the person and a commitment not to give up.
I'll take the long way home
Choosing a longer route home to have more time for the person to call.
So that you can call me
-Your voice on the phone
Anticipating the comforting effect of the person's voice on the phone.
It won't leave me lonely
-I think I'm meant for you
Expressing a belief in being meant for the person, uncertainty, and acknowledging potential losses.
Don't know what to do
-Got a lot to lose
-And no excuse
Acknowledging responsibility without offering excuses.
One
Counting and expressing frustration with dreams and desires, urging the person to call back.
Two
-Three
-Four
-I'm sick of counting
-Dreams as encounters
-Can't trust desire
-Feel uninspired
-Why won't you dial
-Find my name and
-Hit my number
-Won't you call me back
-Won't you call me back
-Won't you call me back
-Won't you call me back
-Won't you call me back
Reiteration of the desire for a return call.
I'll take a little bit more
Repeating the willingness to invest more in the relationship.
I'll take a little bit more
-Boy don't make me do this
Pleading again not to force the speaker into a difficult situation.
I ain't ever been the
