Lyrics
Telephone me
Expressing a desire for communication via telephone.
All alone she sleeps
Describing someone sleeping alone.
And she's awfully patient
Highlighting the person's patience.
You don't know which words to say
Uncertainty in choosing the right words to express.
But I'd still write you every day
Commitment to writing daily despite challenges.
She's so easily worth my time
Expressing that the person is worth the speaker's time and effort.
I can't see what's in front of me
Unable to see the future, facing uncertainty.
But I know you'll be there
Belief in the other person's presence and support.
Soft and sweet, born incomplete
Describing someone as gentle and innocent.
But I know that's not fair
Acknowledging the unfairness of certain situations.
I'm scared, still thinking of you
Admitting fear while still holding thoughts of the person.
It's safe to say, that these things don't go my way
Acceptance that things don't always go as planned.
But won't you girl?
Pleading for understanding or cooperation from the girl.
But I don't want to be your boyfriend
Expressing a reluctance to be in a romantic relationship.
And what a shame,
Noting a sense of regret or loss.
There's a you shaped hole inside my brain
Describing a void in the speaker's thoughts shaped by the person.
But boy, no I don't want to be your boyfriend
Reiterating the reluctance to be in a romantic relationship.
No, I don't want to see you cry
Expressing a desire not to witness the person's sadness.
I can't see what's in front of me
Repetition of uncertainty about the future.
But I know you'll be there
Belief in the other person's constant presence.
Soft and sweet, born incomplete
Reiteration of the person being gentle and innocent.
But I know that's not fair
Acknowledging the unfairness in the situation.
I'm scared, still thinking of you
Reiterating the speaker's fear and ongoing thoughts about the person.
Pick it up girl, won't you pick it up
Repeated calls for the girl to pick up the phone, emphasizing the desire for communication and connection.
Pick it up girl, won't you pick it up
-Pick it up girl, won't you pick me up?
-Pick it up girl, won't you pick it up
-Pick it up girl, won't you pick it up
-Pick it up girl, won't you pick me up?
-Pick it up girl, won't you pick it up
-Pick it up girl, won't you pick it up
-Pick it up girl, won't you pick me up?
-I can't see what's in front of me
-But I know you'll be there
-Soft and sweet, born incomplete
-But I know that's not fair
-I'm scared, still thinking of you
-Thinking of you
-Still thinking of you
Final acknowledgment of persistent thoughts about the person.
