[INTRO — soft vocals] You still awake? Yeah I know we just hung up, but... [VERSE 1] Two hours went like twenty minutes You said you had to go, I get it But something in the way you said goodnight Sounded like you didn't wanna end it Now my room too quiet TV on, I'm not watching Phone face-up beside me Every little buzz got me checking I could call you first But I already did that twice So I'm trying to play it cool And doing a terrible job tonight [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe you're brushing your teeth Maybe you're already asleep Maybe you're staring at my name Thinking the same thing as me [CHORUS] Call me back You don't need a reason Call me back Tell me anything Say you forgot What you were gonna say Make something up I don't care anyway Call me back I know it's getting late Call me back I'll stay awake We don't gotta make this more than that I just wanna hear your voice Call me back [VERSE 2] You told me things you don't tell people I almost told you something too Had it sitting right behind my teeth Then I laughed and changed the subject on you Truth is I like this Whatever this is becoming And I know that's dangerous When neither one of us Has promised nothing But when you said my name Right before goodbye Damn I've heard my name my whole life Didn't know it could sound like that [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe I'm reading too deep Maybe it ain't that serious But if your finger's over my number Go ahead I'm curious [CHORUS] Call me back You don't need a reason Call me back Tell me anything Say you forgot What you were gonna say Make something up I don't care anyway Call me back I know it's getting late Call me back I'll stay awake We don't gotta make this more than that I just wanna hear your voice Call me back [POST-CHORUS — FALSETTO] Call me Call me Don't leave me here guessing Call me Call me Even if it's just for a second [BRIDGE — stripped piano] I don't need some perfect line Don't need you saying how you feel We can talk about nothing Till four in the morning I just want something real And maybe tomorrow We'll act like tonight was nothing But right now If you're thinking about me... [PHONE VIBRATION] [PAUSE] [soft laugh] There you are [FINAL CHORUS — fuller vocals] You called me back Didn't need a reason Called me back Just to hear me speak Said you forgot What you were gonna say We both know You made that up anyway You called me back Now it's getting late But neither one of us Wants to hang up again We don't gotta know where this is at Just stay on the line Don't take it back [HIGH FALSETTO HARMONIES] Stay on the line Stay on the line [OUTRO] So... What were you really gonna say?
