"Call Me Back" lyrics
What went wrong?
Running on empty
I waited years in a past life
Running out of rope and the water's high
I drowned for you and I didn't regret it
Don't text me back in the afterlife
Needed the time I didn't realise
I had it all along, can't take my own advice
Conflated filling the gaps for love
And it's obvious
That I'm caved in and breaking up
But I know it's good
I know it's good
Though it's over now
In my dreams you call me back
But I hope you don't
I hope you don't
I hope you're gone and lost in better days
I've been watching the time, how it erodes away
Thinking 'bout how the last years feel like yesterdays
How did I lose grip on it?
Honest
Been falling through nightmares light years away
And doing my best to keep those thoughts at bay
And finding my highlights in the loudest places
And strangers faces
Getting caught up in a race of it
(How did we get overgrown?)
And walking through the clearing crowd
If we took our chances
(When it's time to go)
And we exchanged glances
(I swore I'd let you know)
Call it in the moment
(When did I lose all this love?)
And walking down the road that I grew up on
Falling out of habits
Stop pleading for empathy's sake
And it's obvious
That I'm caved in and breaking up
But I know it's good
I know it's good
Though it's over now
In my dreams you call me back
But I hope you don't
I hope you don't
'Cause I don't need you to tell me that
(Walking through the clearing)
I don't need you to tell me that
(Breaking up)
(But we exchanged glances)
(It's good)
(Call it in the moment)
I don't need you to tell me that
(And walking down the road)
(Call me back to life)
I don't need you to tell me
It's OK I'm going
I'm searching
For what I am now
I'll find you if it's urgent
Or if I'm hurting
More than I am now
And we'll come back here some day
And laugh about it
Memories that don't know
How it felt like I was burning
While you weren't watching
Took everything I loved
No, nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Home
Nowhere feels like home
Been a long life
Still got mad time
Took a wrong right
On it last time
Through the long night
Made it out alright
Told my brother hold tight
Sometimes I can feel it
Sometimes I still
Sometimes I feel
Some times
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Running on empty
I waited years in a past life
Running out of rope and the water's high
I drowned for you and I didn't regret it
Don't text me back in the afterlife
Needed the time I didn't realise
I had it all along, can't take my own advice
Conflated filling the gaps for love
And it's obvious
That I'm caved in and breaking up
But I know it's good
I know it's good
Though it's over now
In my dreams you call me back
But I hope you don't
I hope you don't
I hope you're gone and lost in better days
I've been watching the time, how it erodes away
Thinking 'bout how the last years feel like yesterdays
How did I lose grip on it?
Honest
Been falling through nightmares light years away
And doing my best to keep those thoughts at bay
And finding my highlights in the loudest places
And strangers faces
Getting caught up in a race of it
(How did we get overgrown?)
And walking through the clearing crowd
If we took our chances
(When it's time to go)
And we exchanged glances
(I swore I'd let you know)
Call it in the moment
(When did I lose all this love?)
And walking down the road that I grew up on
Falling out of habits
Stop pleading for empathy's sake
And it's obvious
That I'm caved in and breaking up
But I know it's good
I know it's good
Though it's over now
In my dreams you call me back
But I hope you don't
I hope you don't
'Cause I don't need you to tell me that
(Walking through the clearing)
I don't need you to tell me that
(Breaking up)
(But we exchanged glances)
(It's good)

I don't need you to tell me that
(And walking down the road)
(Call me back to life)
I don't need you to tell me

Or if I'm hurting

And we'll come back here some day
And laugh about it
Memories that don't know
How it felt like I was burning
While you weren't watching
Took everything I loved
No, nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Home
Nowhere feels like home
Been a long life
Still got mad time

Told my brother hold tight
Sometimes I can feel it
Sometimes I still
Sometimes I feel
Some times
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
Nowhere feels like home
