Call Me Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
Wait time is to blame
I thought fame was a trip
We all have the time
Someone's always feared
I look for you
And you look away
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
