Call Them Up

V5.5

[intro]
[acoustic guitar]

[Verse 1]
I found an old picture cleaning out the hall drawer
We were laughing at something, sitting on the kitchen floor
It feels like last week, but looking at it now
I don't even know where the years went or how
We always say "next weekend" or "when things slow down"
Like we’ve got forever to keep staying in this town
But the calendar keeps turning and the days just bleed
And we’re missing the exact things that we actually need

[Chorus]
So call them up right now, don't wait for tomorrow
We don't get to buy back the time that we borrow
Hold on to the people who make your world feel right
Don't let a stupid argument keep you up tonight
Because a chair can go empty in the blink of an eye
And you’ll be left with the words that you never got to say

[Verse 2]
My dad looks a little older every single time I visit
He moves a little slower, and it breaks my heart to witness
My friends are all busy with their jobs and their lives
We’re all running in circles just building our lives
But what is the point of making all of this cash
If the people we love can be gone in a flash?
I’m tired of saying "I'll see you around"
When the next time we meet could be a hole in the ground

[Bridge]
Time isn't a river that keeps flowing on and on
It’s a glass that is breaking before you know it's gone
Stop waiting for the perfect day to show that you care
Just open up your arms and be glad that they are there

[Outro]
Yeah, call them up.
Don't wait.
Before the room goes quiet.
And it's just too late.
