Lyrics
Well it's Saturday night, out here on my own
Setting the scene for a Saturday night alone
Been downtown, don't know how long
Been in the downtown area for an unspecified duration
Been waiting on a friend of mine, been saving her a seat
Waiting for a friend and saving a seat at a bar
Bar's about to close, she's yet to be seen
The bar is closing soon, and the friend hasn't arrived
Now in the past I've gone astray
Admitting past mistakes and wrongdoing
Yes, I'm the one to blame
Accepting responsibility for the mistakes
Come on now call me back, darlin' please call me
Pleading for a call back from the friend
I'm so down hearted
Expressing deep sadness or disappointment
It may be to late to save me little girl
Questioning if it's too late for redemption
Called your phone `til the number wouldn't dial
Repeated attempts to call the friend with no success
Yes it may be too late to save me little girl
Reiterating the concern that it might be too late for salvation
Show me a sign it might save me somehow
Seeking a sign that there's still hope for redemption
Now I could get better, or I could get drunk
Considering two options: getting better or turning to alcohol
Doubles for the road, reckon I'm done
Having a drink and indicating a decision has been made
Gonna pay up my tab, make it back across town
Settling debts and heading back home with a final call attempt
Call one more time, see if she'd come near the house
Hoping the friend will come to the house
Now in the past I've gone astray
Reflecting on past mistakes once again
Yes, I'm the one to blame
Acknowledging personal responsibility for errors
Come on now call me back, darlin' please call me
Requesting a call back with a sense of desperation
I'm so down hearted
Expressing deep emotional distress
It may be to late to save me little girl
Repeating the concern that it might be too late for redemption
Called your phone `til the number wouldn't dial
Continued unsuccessful attempts to reach the friend
Yes it may be too late to save me little girl
Reiterating the fear that redemption may be out of reach
Show me a sign it might save me somehow
Seeking a sign or signal that there's still a chance for redemption
I know you're busy girl
Acknowledging the friend's busy schedule and hard work
I know you're working hard
Recognizing the friend's daily struggles
Every day just to make it through
Suggesting that supporting each other may be the solution
Maybe the best way to
Proposing a way for the friend to save the narrator
save me little girl
Repeating the concern about potential redemption
Is by letting me, by letting me, save you
Suggesting mutual support as a means of salvation
Now in the past I've gone astray
Revisiting past mistakes and admitting personal fault
Yes, I'm the one to blame
Reiterating personal responsibility for past actions
Come on now call me back, darlin' please call me
Pleading for a call back with a sense of desperation
I'm so down hearted
Expressing deep emotional distress once again
It may be to late to save me little girl
Repeating the concern that it might be too late for redemption
Called your phone `til the number wouldn't dial
Continued unsuccessful attempts to reach the friend
Yes it may be too late to save me little girl
Reiterating the fear that redemption may be out of reach
Show me a sign it might save me somehow
Seeking a sign or signal that there's still a chance for redemption
Yes it may be too late to save me little girl
Once again expressing the fear that it might be too late for redemption
Show me a sign it might save me somehow
Repeating the plea for a sign or signal that there's still hope
Show me a sign it might save me somehow
Continuing to seek a sign or signal for potential redemption
