Pick up the Phone
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Love's Call in 'Pick up the Phone'
Lyrics
It's hard enough to know
Expressing the difficulty of understanding a situation or emotion.
That we will never go where we wanted
Acknowledging that their desired destination is unattainable.
It always starts to haunt me until we fall
Feeling haunted by unresolved issues until a downfall occurs.
Do you feel me calling?
Asking if the other person can sense a connection.
Do you hear me calling?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the desire for recognition.
You're all I need to hold
Affirming that the other person is essential for emotional support.
Baby please pick up the phone
Pleading for the recipient to answer the phone.
You're all I've ever known
Highlighting the significance of the other person in their life.
Can you please pick up the phone when I'm calling?
Requesting the person to respond when called.
When I'm calling
Reiteration of the plea for a response.
With all that I can know
Expressing the limits of their knowledge and understanding.
You call me on your own when you want it
Describing a situation where the other person initiates contact for their own desires.
I know it's not the same as it was before
Acknowledging a change in the relationship, suggesting it's not the same as before.
Do you feel me calling?
Repeating the question, seeking confirmation of a shared feeling.
Do you hear me calling?
Emphasizing the desire for the other person to hear and understand.
You're all I need to hold
Reiterating the emotional importance of the other person.
Baby please pick up the phone
Requesting once again for the person to answer the phone.
Baby please pick up the
Continuation of the plea, incomplete line.
You're all I've ever known
Reaffirming the deep connection with the other person.
Can you please pick up the phone when I'm calling?
Repeated request for the person to respond when called.
When I'm calling
Reiteration of the plea for a response, incomplete line.
When I'm calling
Repeating the request for the person to answer when called.
