Call Me Back
Midnight Confessions: Longing and Remorse in "Call Me Back
Lyrics
I watch as the clock ticks from seconds to hours
I observe the passage of time from seconds to hours.
At this point even my pictures they all are bored
Even my photos express boredom at this point.
My tables collect dust as I'm sitting on this bed
My furniture gathers dust as I sit on the bed with a mind full of thoughts.
With my head full of thoughts
My mind is preoccupied with thoughts.
I can't comprehend why I feel this way about you
I cannot understand why I have these feelings about you.
Call me back it's after midnight
Requesting a call back after midnight.
I've got some things I need to get off my chest
Expressing a need to share burdens and emotions.
Too many covenants we broke on our parting conversation on the night we left
Referring to broken promises in the past conversation during the farewell.
My mouth still tastes bitter from the things that you said
Mentioning a lingering bitterness from previous hurtful words.
Can you put me in your arms and we'll go back and pretend
Desire to revisit the past and pretend it didn't end.
Call me back, it's after midnight
Reiterating the request for a call back after midnight.
Could we at least be friends
Asking if friendship is possible despite the circumstances.
I feel all of the days they turn into longer weeks
Feeling that days are becoming longer weeks.
I just woke up from a nightmare that I'd hate to repeat
Recently waking up from a distressing nightmare.
Why are you everywhere yet you hate what you see
Questioning why the person is everywhere but dislikes what they see.
When all you see is me and I could never be free
Feeling trapped when the other person is present.
From all the thoughts I have about you
Unable to free oneself from persistent thoughts about the person.
Call me back it's after midnight
Repeating the request for a call back after midnight.
I've got some things I need to get off my chest
Expressing the need to share inner feelings.
Too many covenants we broke on our parting conversation on the night we left
Referring again to broken promises in the past conversation.
My mouth still tastes bitter from the things that you said
Recounting the lingering bitterness from past hurtful words.
Can you put me in your arms and we'll go back and pretend
Proposing a return to a comforting past, pretending it didn't end.
Why do I sound the same all the time
Reflecting on a consistent personal identity.
You write lines of beauty while I write lines of pain
Comparing the beauty in the other person's expressions to the pain in the speaker's words.
I watch as you go along with your life
Observing the other person moving forward in life.
I hope you feel fine, meanwhile I wanna die sometimes
Expressing internal struggles and occasional thoughts of despair.
Call me back it's after midnight
Reiterating the request for a call back after midnight.
I've got some things I need to get off my chest
Expressing the need to unload emotional burdens.
Too many covenants we broke on our parting conversation on the night we left
Referring once again to broken promises in the past conversation.
Call me back it's after midnight
Repeating the request for a call back after midnight.
I've got some things I need to get off my chest
Expressing the need to share inner feelings.
Too many covenants we broke on our parting conversation on the night we left
Referring again to broken promises in the past conversation.
My mouth still tastes bitter from the things that you said
Recounting the lingering bitterness from past hurtful words.
Can you put me in your arms and we'll go back and pretend
Proposing a return to a comforting past, pretending it didn't end.
Call me back it's after midnight
Reiterating the request for a call back after midnight.
Could we at least be friends
Asking again if friendship is possible despite the circumstances.
Just call me back, could we please be friends
Emphasizing the desire for a call back and the possibility of friendship.
Oh can we please be friends
Expressing a plea for friendship.
Can we please, can we please
Repetition of the plea for friendship.
Can we please be friends
Continued plea for friendship.
Pick up the phone
An urgent request to answer the phone.
Whatever
A concluding expression of urgency.
