Call Me Back Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wait time is the worst
I can hardly sit
No one has the time
Someone's always late
I look for you
And you look for me
[Chorus]
I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
[Verse 2]
Wait time is to blame
Mapped out fame's a trip
We all have the time
Someone's always fed
I look for you
And you look away
Wait time is the worst
I can hardly sit
No one has the time
Someone's always late
I look for you
And you look for me
[Chorus]
I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
[Verse 2]
Wait time is to blame
Mapped out fame's a trip
We all have the time
Someone's always fed
I look for you
And you look away
[Chorus]
I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground
(Waking up is so much fun to do)
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
(An 80's movie make-out party with you)
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground
(Waking up is so much fun to do)
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
(An 80's movie make-out party with you)
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Track 7 off of “Angles”, the lyrics to “Call Me Back”, while seemingly about a relationship, could potentially be about the rough recording process of the album.
The numerous references to “wait time” throughout the song could be in reference to Julian Casablancas' apparent tendency to not show up at all during band sessions for the album.
