Lyrics

I took a shot and tried to called you home

The speaker attempted to contact someone by making a phone call to their home.

Every tone of the phone just felt so wrong

The tones or responses from the phone felt unsettling or uncomfortable.

I thought you said to me to reach you over night

Recalling a previous instruction from the person to be reachable overnight.

But I guess I was afraid of my lack of sense, past the light

The speaker hesitated due to a fear of their own lack of understanding, possibly related to past experiences.

Just when the moon shine

Referencing a specific time, perhaps indicating a moment of significance or realization.

And to the sound of this beat

The speaker is drawn to the rhythm or music, setting a scene for the following actions.

I dance alone, as I watch the phone

Engaging in solitary dance while keeping an eye on the phone.

Fooling myself thinking you're not home

Convincing oneself that the person being called is not at home.

I should let it go

Contemplating the need to move on and release the attachment to the situation.

As I fell on the floor, I watch you go

Falling physically and emotionally, observing the departure of the person.

You were still in my mind as I crossed that lonesome road

Despite physical distance, the person remains in the speaker's thoughts while navigating a challenging path.

Oh I should had just make that call

Expressing regret for not making the call earlier.

But now is just too late, tomorrow I will be gone

Realizing that it's now too late, and the speaker will be gone by tomorrow.

I will be gone

Reiteration of the imminent departure.

And to the sound of this beat

Returning to the musical beat, emphasizing its influence on the speaker's actions.

I leave the phone, it has been so long

Leaving the phone, possibly indicating a decision to move forward without constant connection.

Fooling myself

Acknowledging self-deception and a desire to be strong this time.

Thinking I will be strong this time

Expressing determination not to answer the phone tonight.

Just don't pick up the phone tonight

Reconnecting with the beat while dancing alone, still questioning the person's availability.

And to the sound of this beat

Reiterating the connection between actions and the rhythmic beat.

I dance alone as I watch the phone

Continuing to dance alone, maintaining the illusion that the person is not at home.

Fooling myself thinking you're not home

Repeating the self-deception of thinking the person is not at home.

I should let it go

Revisiting the contemplation of letting go.

Cause I'd called you home

Stating the finality of the decision to call the person home.
