call me when u get home
Safety in Sound: Lindsey Lomis' Call for Caution in a Chaotic World
Lyrics
Are you going to that party couple blocks away?
Asking if the person is going to a nearby party
Are you leavin' with somebody? Maybe what's-his-face?
Inquiring if they are leaving with someone specific
I guess I'm just paranoid about everything
Expressing paranoia about various things
Can you blame me, babe? This world is crazy, so
Acknowledging the craziness of the world and justifying the paranoia
Take drinks from no one
Advising not to accept drinks from strangers
And make sure to look over your shoulder
Emphasizing the importance of being cautious and vigilant
If you walk alone, don't trust a stranger
Warning against trusting strangers when walking alone
'Cause you know I wanna see you later
Expressing a desire to see the person later
Just call me when you get home
Requesting a call when the person arrives home
Hope you don't forget, oh
Expressing the hope that the person doesn't forget to call
Tell me that you will when you're going out
Asking to be informed when going out
'Cause I won't sleep until I know you're sleepin' sound
Stating concern and the inability to sleep until assured of safety
Call me when you get, call me when you get home
Reiterating the request to call upon reaching home
Need me in thirty minutes, I'll be there in five
Offering to be there in five minutes if needed in thirty
If you're worried 'bout your parents, you can stay with mine
Suggesting staying with the speaker's parents if concerned about own parents
Don't make me make up stories 'bout what's happenin' tonight
Mentioning the speaker's reluctance to invent stories about the night
You know that I've been watchin' too much true crime
Admitting to watching too much true crime, contributing to paranoia
Take drinks from no one
Reiterating not to accept drinks from strangers
And make sure to look over your shoulder
Emphasizing the importance of vigilance and caution
If you walk alone, don't trust a stranger
Reiterating the warning against trusting strangers when alone
'Cause you know I wanna see you later
Expressing the desire to see the person later
Just call me when you get home
Reiterating the request to call upon reaching home
Hope you don't forget, oh
Expressing the hope that the person doesn't forget to call
Tell me that you will when you're going out
Asking to be informed when going out
'Cause I won't sleep until I know you're sleepin' sound
Stating concern and the inability to sleep until assured of safety
Call me when you get, call me when you get home
Reiterating the request to call upon reaching home
I don't want you to worry, I'm not sayin' leave early
Assuring the person not to worry and not advocating leaving early
Wish there were things we didn't have to know
Expressing a wish for ignorance about certain things
So call me when you get home
Reiterating the request to call upon reaching home
Hope you don't forget, ooh no
Expressing the hope that the person doesn't forget to call
Tell me that you will when you're going out
Asking to be informed when going out
'Cause I won't sleep until I know you're sleepin' sound
Stating concern and the inability to sleep until assured of safety
Call me when you get, call me when you get home
Reiterating the request to call upon reaching home
Home
Concluding with the emphasis on "home"
