Lyrics

On my last call, as I go off

Reflecting on a final phone call before departing

If it rings, you know it's me

Caller ID indicates the speaker's identity

Talking words can't tell you

Expressing difficulty in verbally conveying feelings

How I miss you

Expressing strong emotions of longing and yearning

Will you let me sing

Asking for permission or acceptance to express emotions


Used to visit on the weekend

Recalling past visits, likely with a sense of nostalgia

TN plate on the highway

Mentioning a Tennessee license plate on the highway, indicating a specific location

Stay home evenings

Describing staying home during evenings, possibly a routine or change in lifestyle

One bottle in the freezer

Noting the presence of a single bottle in the freezer, suggesting a solitary or contemplative activity


Lights go out in this town

Describing a moment when lights go out in the town, possibly symbolizing a significant event or change

My heart swim in the sound

Connecting a personal emotional experience with the ambient sound


On my last call, as I go off

Repeating the theme of a final phone call before departure

If it rings, you know it's me

Highlighting the speaker's identifiable presence through the phone

Talking words can't tell you

Emphasizing the limitations of words to express feelings

How I miss you

Reiterating strong feelings of missing someone

Will you let me sing

Seeking permission or acceptance to express emotions again


Used to ghost me back then

Recalling a past experience of being ignored or avoided

Two hours on the porch swing

Remembering a specific two-hour moment on a porch swing, suggesting a meaningful conversation or interaction

Said we'd try again

Referring to a commitment to try again in the past

Never guess what came of it

Indicating an unexpected outcome or result of the previous commitment


Lights go out in this town

Repeating the theme of lights going out, possibly signifying a recurring emotional event

My heart swim in the sound

Connecting personal emotions with the ambient sound again


Breaking every rule I want to

Acknowledging the violation of rules and norms

Driving as fast as I can

Expressing urgency and speed in driving, possibly as a response to emotions

If you wanna go, that's fine too

Offering acceptance for the other person to leave if they choose to

Let me just understand

Expressing a desire for understanding the situation
