called you again
Echoes of Regret: Unraveling Emotions in 'Called You Again' by Rachel Barton
Lyrics
I left the party early tonight
I left a social gathering early.
And my friends hate me for it
My friends disapprove of my early departure.
They know I heard your name somewhere in the crowd
I overheard your name in the crowd.
And I couldn't stand it
Hearing your name bothered me.
Cause I don't have your location anymore
I no longer know your current whereabouts.
Don't know who you've been around
Uncertain about the people you've been with.
Haven't even heard that name in a while
It's been a while since I heard that name.
I almost forgot how it sounds
I almost forgot the sound of your name.
So I called you again
I called you again.
And I wish I never did
Regretting the decision to call.
I hate the fact
Unhappy about feeling the need to connect.
That I feel like I need this
Expressing dislike for dependence.
Cause there you go again
You're back in my thoughts.
Creeping your way back
Your presence is returning gradually.
Don't know why I thought I could get over it
Realization that getting over it is difficult.
So I called you again
I called you again.
And I wish I never did
Regret for the repeated call.
Oh I wish I never did
Expressing a wish to have never called.
I stayed in bed for the whole day
Spent the entire day in bed.
Lying there hating myself
Self-loathing during the period of inactivity.
I bet you brushed it off cause you've probably moved on
Assuming you've moved on and focused on yourself.
And worked out to stay focused on yourself
Engaging in self-improvement activities.
Do you even have my number saved anymore
Doubt about whether you still have my number.
Could you recognize it was me
Questioning if you could recognize me.
Would you have picked up if somehow you knew
Contemplating if you would answer knowing it's me.
How I've been doing recently
Reflecting on recent personal experiences.
So I called you again
I called you again.
And I wish I never did
Regretting the repeated attempt at connection.
I hate the fact
Unhappy about feeling the need to connect.
That I feel like I need this
Expressing dislike for dependence.
Cause there you go again
You're back in my thoughts.
Creeping your way back
Your presence is returning gradually.
Don't know why I thought I could get over it
Realization that getting over it is difficult.
So I called you again
I called you again.
And I wish I never did
Regret for the repeated call.
Oh I wish I never did
Expressing a wish to have never called.
