Call You Back
Emotional Distance in 'Call You Back' by Sargeant X Comrade
Lyrics
I noticed you calling my phone
I noticed someone calling my phone
I pretended that I wasn't there
I ignored the call, pretending not to be available
I would have answered if I had the time
If I had the time, I would have answered
It's not like I don't care
Despite appearances, it's not that I don't care
Heard you're doing big things now
Aware of the person's success or significant achievements
Heard you made your daddy proud
Heard that the person has made their father proud
Wishing you could tell me now
Wishing the person could share their experiences
But you can tell me 'bout it when I call you back
Encouraging the person to share when they call back
I'm all about myself right now
Focused on self at the moment
I'm pretty Zen right now
Feeling calm and centered
Wishing I could tell you now
Expressing the desire to share current experiences
But I can tell you 'bout it when I call you back
Will share details when calling back
Waiting and waiting
Emphasizing a period of waiting
You keep waiting and waiting
Highlighting prolonged waiting
You have reached the voice mail box of: Yolanda Sargeant
Playing a voicemail message with the artist's name
You can tell me 'bout it when I call you back
Reiterating the invitation to share when calling back
Wait 'til I call you back
Requesting patience until the return call
Baby I'mma call you back
Expressing the intention to call back
Wait 'til I call you back
Asking the person to wait for the return call
Just wait 'til I call you
Reiterating the request to wait for the call
Wait 'til I call you back
Requesting patience until the return call
Baby I'mma call you back
Expressing the intention to call back
I'm gonna call you back
Affirming the plan to make a return call
Just wait 'til I call you
Reiterating the request to wait for the call
Waiting and waiting
Emphasizing a period of waiting
You keep waiting and waiting
Highlighting prolonged waiting
I know that you've been waiting on me
Acknowledging that the person has been waiting
I just need some time alone so please
Expressing the need for time alone
Don't get emotional with me
Advising not to get emotional during the waiting period
Baby just hold on
Encouraging the person to hold on
Don't get emotional
Reiterating the advice not to get emotional
Baby just hold on
Encouraging the person to hold on
Don't get emotional
Reiterating the advice not to get emotional
Hold on, hold on
Repeated emphasis on holding on
Hold on, hold on
