Lyrics

Can you hear me now

Expressing a desire for acknowledgment or attention.

I am calling for you

Attempting to connect with someone specific.

You and you only

Emphasizing the exclusivity of the connection, addressing only one person.

So tell me what to do

Seeking guidance or instruction from the addressed person.

When I pull away

Describing a pattern of pulling away and being drawn back into the relationship.

You draw me right back

Highlighting the cyclical nature of the relationship.

Telling pretty lies

Accusing the addressed person of telling attractive yet deceitful stories.

Saying you'll change your act

Referencing promises of change, possibly insincere or unfulfilled.

But you never do

Observing a lack of actual change in behavior.

There's never a change

Emphasizing the perpetual absence of positive transformation.

And it's not your fault

Claiming personal responsibility for the issues in the relationship.

I'm the one to blame

Reiterating self-blame, acknowledging a role in the relationship's challenges.

I'm the one to blame

Repeating acknowledgment of personal culpability.

So can you hear me now

Restating the attempt to communicate, perhaps with added urgency.

I am calling from above

Symbolizing a transcendent perspective, possibly implying a higher understanding.

Coming down to

Descending metaphorically, likening to a divine or significant entity.

Like your gods morning dove

Drawing parallels between the addressed person and a morning dove, symbolizing peace or love.

Does this change your view

Prompting a reconsideration of one's perspective or attitudes.

Can you finally love

Posing a question about the possibility of genuine love.

Someone like me

Expressing uncertainty about one's worthiness of love.

Or should I just give up

Contemplating the idea of giving up on the relationship.

I just don't understand

Expressing confusion or disbelief about not meeting expectations.

How I'm not good enough

Expressing a perceived inadequacy or lack of value.

I've tried everything

Conveying persistent efforts to earn the addressed person's love.

To learn your love

Stating the inability to comprehend the reason for waiting on the addressed person.

And I don't know why I wait on you

Expressing a realization or understanding of a particular truth.

Cuz if there's one thing i know

Stressing the certainty of a specific knowledge or truth.

One thing that's true

Reiterating a singular, undeniable truth.

This is my rue

Introducing the concept of "rue," possibly implying regret or sorrow.
