Call My Name
City Echoes: Love and Loss in Night Ranger's Melody
Lyrics
I hear your voice over the sound of the city
I perceive your voice amidst the noise of the city.
I hear you call my name
I recognize that you are calling out to me.
And I hear that now you spend your life feeling pity
I understand that you now live with a sense of self-pity.
But who am I to blame
However, I question my role in your current state.
I see that some things never change
I observe that certain aspects remain unchanged.
Summer kisses never last through September
Expressions of affection during summer fade as September arrives.
I thought you'd understand
I expected you to comprehend the transient nature of such moments.
That holding hands ain't exclusive to lovers
Physical closeness isn't exclusive to romantic partners.
Guess it was part of your plan
It seems like it was part of your intentional scheme.
The tender moments were part of your plan
Those tender moments were deliberately planned by you.
I hear you call my name
I am aware of you calling my name.
I hear you call out to me
I hear your plea directed towards me.
I hear you call my name
Repetition of the acknowledgment of your call to me.
I hear you call out to me
Reiteration of hearing your call and responding.
Your silhouette always appears in my window
Your shadow consistently appears in my view.
I close my eyes and hear
I shut my eyes and can still sense the applause of numerous strangers.
The applause of at least a thousand different strangers
The applause seems genuine from many different individuals.
And everyone seems sincere
Everyone appears sincere in their expressions.
Or did you notice, was it you that I hear?
Uncertainty about whether it was you that I heard.
I hear you call my name
Confirmation of hearing you call my name.
I hear you call out to me
Acknowledgment of your call directed towards me.
I hear you call my name
Reiteration of hearing your call and responding.
I hear you call out to me
Repetition of the acknowledgment of your call to me.
I told you once before if you close that door
A warning that closing the door will lead to my departure.
I'll be gone, yeah yeah
I won't return for more if you choose to shut me out.
I won't be back for more, I learned before
Past experiences have taught me not to revisit.
It's the past, it's the path, it's forgotten
Emphasizing that the past is a forgotten path.
I hear you call
Reaffirmation of hearing your call.
I hear you call out to me
Repetition of responding to your call.
I hear you call my name
Confirmation of hearing you call my name.
I hear you call out to me
Reiteration of hearing your call and responding.
I hear you call my name
Repetition of acknowledging your call directed towards me.
I hear you call my name
Repetition of hearing your call directed towards me.
I hear your voice it was the sound of the city
Recollection of hearing your voice as part of the city sounds.
I hear you call my name
Reiteration of acknowledging your call to me.
I hear you call my name
Confirmation of hearing you call my name.
