Call Me When You Can’t v2

Midnight again…

I’m wide awake.

⸻

Midnight light through the bedroom blinds

I’m wide awake, you’re on my mind

You’re lying next to him, pretending to sleep

But I know you’re thinkin’ about me

⸻

You step out to the driveway, say it’s just the breeze

But I can feel your heartbeat through the screen

⸻

Call me when you can’t—

When his touch don’t feel like mine

When you’re dying just to cross the line

It’s late, it’s wrong, but baby I don’t care

You always find me standing there

Call me when you can’t—

When the truth is too much to stand

I know you won’t…

But you always have

So call me…

Call me when you can’t

⸻

You keep my name in a hidden place

Back of your mind, front of your face

You say it’s over, say it’s done

But every silence ends with “I still want someone”

⸻

You pull the curtain, hush your tone

And breathe like you’re not alone

⸻

Call me when you can’t—

When his steady love feels cold

When you’re missin’ fire, but playin’ bold

You say you’re safe but I know that look

That kind of safety steals the good

Call me when you can’t—

When the lie gets too big to stand

I know you won’t…

But you always have

So call me…

Call me when you can’t

⸻

I’m the sin you swear you’ll stop

But you never really want it to stop

You call me when you shouldn’t

And I answer like I couldn’t not

⸻

Call me when you can’t—

When the room gets dark and you feel too loud

When you miss me more than your fear allows

You know it’s wrong, but it still feels right

And I’ll be waiting like every night

Call me when you can’t—

When goodbye’s more than you can stand

I know you won’t…

But you always have

So call me…

Call me when you can’t

⸻

Call me…

When you can’t.
