Missed Calls: Love's Echoes and Second Chances
Lyrics
It's okay if you need a little distraction to mend your broken heart
Acceptance of the need for a distraction to heal a broken heart.
It's okay if you want a little attention to build the ego that you lost
Permission for seeking attention to rebuild a lost ego.
But when you call it love, I gotta tilt my head
Skepticism when love is claimed, given recent actions.
'Cause just last week you said you missed my voice
Contradiction: Mention of missing the voice despite recent breakup.
It just ain't adding up 'cause if you'd take me back
Confusion about wanting reconciliation while expressing preference for someone else.
How can you tell her that she's your first choice?
Questioning the sincerity of choosing another over the speaker.
I don't think you really love her like you say you do
Doubt about the depth of love claimed for the new person.
Judging by the missed calls in my phone from you
Observation of missed calls as evidence of unresolved feelings.
'Cause if you really loved her like you say you do
Reiteration of skepticism about the professed love.
I'd be out of your head like I'm out of your bed
Assertion that true love would result in the speaker being out of the mind.
I don't think you really love her
Reiteration of doubts regarding genuine love.
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?
Repetitive questioning of the sincerity of feelings.
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?
-Didn't expect you to wait around forever to move on with your life
Acknowledgment of the need to move on but with a time-related critique.
But nine days is not what I would recommend
Disapproval of a short period for moving on, offering personal advice.
At least that's just my advice
Expressing a view on the speaker's recommended timeframe for moving on.
You tell them "She's the one"
Critical view of declarations about 'the one' with skepticism.
That "when you know, you know"
Sarcasm about the certainty of recognizing true love.
Won't bet much on it though, can you blame me?
Doubt expressed, indicating a lack of belief in proclaimed love.
Love ain't a hit and run
Comparison of love to a hit and run, emphasizing its seriousness.
Can't jump straight to the next
Caution against hastily moving on to the next relationship.
These voicemails that you left all agree
Reference to voicemails as evidence of unresolved emotions.
I don't think you really love her like you say you do
Reiteration of doubt regarding the depth of love for the new person.
Judging by the missed calls in my phone from you
Observation of missed calls as continued evidence of lingering feelings.
'Cause if you really loved her like you say you do
Reiteration of skepticism about the professed love for the new person.
I'd be out of your head like I'm out of your bed
Assertion that true love would result in the speaker being out of the mind.
I don't think you really love her
Reiteration of doubts regarding genuine love.
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?
Repetitive questioning of the sincerity of feelings.
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?
-She seems really nice but she's not your type
Assertion that the new person is not the speaker's type.
'Cause she's not me, she's not me
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the speaker compared to the new person.
She seems really nice but she's not your type
Reiteration that the new person is not a suitable match.
'Cause she's not me
Final confirmation that the new person is not comparable to the speaker.
So you keep calling me
Recognition of persistent attempts by the ex-partner to reconnect.
