Lyrics
Are you there, babe, are you scared?
Expressing concern about your presence and feelings, wondering if you're afraid or worried.
Is there anything I can promise
Asking if there's something specific I can commit to or assure you of to make you stay.
To keep you here?
Questioning what actions or promises can be made to ensure your continued presence.
Break my branches, grow your wings
Metaphorically suggesting the idea of sacrificing ('break my branches') in order for you to find your own independence ('grow your wings').
Try your best to carry on
Encouraging you to make an effort to persevere and carry on despite challenges or difficulties.
But don't you forget about me
Requesting not to be forgotten despite the trials or changes you might be going through.
So when you're ready to fall in love
When you're prepared to embrace love,
Oh, and you think that you've had enough
Feeling emotionally drained or thinking that you've reached your limit,
I better be your first call
Asking to be the first person you turn to or contact.
I better be your first call
Reiterating the importance of being the initial contact when you need someone.
Through the silence, I'm screaming out
Expressing emotions despite the silence, indicating an overwhelming love that persists.
I still love you more than anything else
Emphasizing love for you above everything else in existence.
Hm-hm-hm
Indicating a melody or hum in place of specific words.
You beautiful creature, give me a smile
Desiring a smile from you, addressing you as a beautiful and unique being.
'Cause I haven't felt that warmth from you
Noticing a lack of warmth or affection from you recently.
In a while
Highlighting a prolonged period without feeling your warmth or love.
So when you're ready to fall in love
Reiteration of readiness for love,
Oh, and you think that you've had enough
Feeling emotionally depleted or reaching a breaking point,
I better be your first call
Stressing the desire to be the primary person you reach out to.
I better be your first call
Emphasizing the importance of being the first contact in times of need.
I better be your first call (call me crazy)
Repeating the importance of being the primary contact, even if others view it as irrational ('call me crazy').
I better be your first call (call me crazy)
Reiterating the significance of being the initial person contacted, even if it seems unconventional ('call me crazy').
I better be your first call
Stressing again the importance of being the first person contacted in times of need or love.
