Lyrics
Hey - call me back when you get this
Expressing a need for a call back, suggesting urgency or importance.
Or when you've got a minute
Asking to be contacted when the person has a moment to talk.
We really need to talk
Highlighting the importance of a conversation that needs to happen.
Wait - you know what
Suggesting a reconsideration of the situation.
Maybe just forget it
Considering abandoning the conversation, feeling discouraged.
'Cause by the time you get this
Pointing out the potential blocking of the caller's number.
Your number might be blocked
Anticipating a possible blockage of communication.
""Stay"" and ""bla bla bla""
Mentioning insincere phrases like "Stay" and "bla bla bla."
You just want what you can't have
Highlighting a desire for what is unattainable.
No way
Rejecting the possibility of fulfillment.
I'll call the cops
Threatening to involve authorities (cops) if unwanted behavior continues.
If you don't stop, I'll call your dad
Adding a threat to involve the person's dad as a consequence.
And I hate to do this to you on your birthday
Expressing regret for taking a negative action on the person's birthday.
Happy birthday by the way
Wishing a happy birthday despite the negative actions.
""It's not you, it's me"" and all that other bullshit
Dismissing common breakup clichés like "It's not you, it's me."
You know that's bullshit
Asserting that such statements are insincere or false.
Don'tcha', babe?
Questioning the sincerity of the person (babe).
I'm not your party favor
Rejecting the role of being a source of enjoyment for the person.
Look - now I know, we could've done it better
Reflecting on the possibility of handling the situation better.
But we can't change the weather
Accepting the uncontrollable nature of certain situations, like weather.
When the weather's come and gone
Emphasizing the transient nature of circumstances.
Books don't make sense if you read 'em backwards
Stating that actions may not make sense if approached in reverse.
You'll single out the wrong words
Warning about the risk of misunderstanding if something is approached backward.
Like you mishear all my songs
Indicating potential misinterpretation of the artist's songs.
You hear ""stay"" and ""bla bla bla""
Repeating insincere phrases desired by the person.
You just want what you can't have
Reiterating the desire for what is unattainable.
No way
Rejecting the possibility of fulfillment.
I'll call the cops
Repeating the threat to involve authorities if unwanted behavior persists.
If you don't stop, I'll call your dad
Reiterating the threat to involve the person's dad as a consequence.
And I hate to do this to you on your birthday
Reiterating regret for taking negative action on the person's birthday.
Happy birthday by the way
Wishing a happy birthday despite the negative actions.
""It's not you, it's me"" and all that other bullshit
Dismissing common breakup clichés like "It's not you, it's me."
You know that's bullshit
Asserting that such statements are insincere or false.
Don'tcha', babe?
Questioning the sincerity of the person (babe).
I'm not your party favor
Rejecting the role of being a source of enjoyment for the person.
