Call Me
Longing for Connection: "Call Me" by Imelda May
Lyrics
Put it down then I pick it back up
Expressing a cycle of emotional struggle, picking up and putting down feelings.
Praying for your name to pop up
Hoping to hear from the person through prayer, anticipating a connection.
Telling me that your still in love
Being informed that the person is still in love, creating a sense of longing.
Still in love with me

No matter how hard I hope
Despite hope and desire, facing the harsh reality that the person remains distant.
No matter how much I want
Expressing a strong yearning for the person despite obstacles.
No matter how bad I'm broke
Regardless of financial struggles, the person remains emotionally distant.
You still don't
Despite efforts, the person still doesn't respond or connect emotionally.
Call, call, call, call me
A plea for the person to call and establish communication.
You've taken all the time you need
Acknowledging the person's need for time, respecting their pace.
If our love, if our love, if our love, means anything

Baby please call, call, call, call me

Can't sleep I'm scared to dream
Expressing insomnia due to fear of dreams and vivid memories.
I'm remembering everything

That you said, that you said to me
Remembering words spoken during the time when the relationship was intact.
When I was yours and you were mine and
Reflecting on a period when they belonged to each other.
