Call Me Back Tonight

Verse 1
I’ve been walking these empty streets
Neon lights and broken dreams
Every face just looks like yours
But they don’t see me anymore

I got dust on my guitar
And a voice that’s worn and scarred
I’ve been screaming into noise
Just to drown out all your words

⸻

Pre-Chorus (building)
And I don’t know where you’ve gone
But I feel you when it’s dark

⸻

Chorus (anthemic, repeatable)
Won’t you call me back tonight
Even if it’s just a lie
I’ve been running out of time
Trying to get you off my mind

And I don’t need a reason why
I just need to hear you say my name
Yeah, call me back tonight
Before I fade into the same

⸻

Verse 2
I’ve been living on the edge
Of every word you never said
Like a ghost inside your phone
Waiting there but all alone

I see shadows in the crowd
Hear your voice but not out loud
It’s like you’re everywhere I go
But you’re never really close

⸻

Pre-Chorus
And I don’t know what it means
But it’s keeping me awake

⸻

Chorus
Won’t you call me back tonight
Even if it’s just a lie
I’ve been running out of time
Trying to get you off my mind

And I don’t need a reason why
I just need to hear you say my name
Yeah, call me back tonight
Before I fade into the same

⸻

Bridge (stripped → explosive)
I don’t need you to stay
I just need you to break
All the silence you left in me

I don’t need you to care
Just pretend you were there
Like you meant it, like you meant me

⸻

Final Chorus (big, raw, repeated energy)
Won’t you call me back tonight
Even if it’s just a lie
I’ve been running out of time
Trying to get you off my mind

And I don’t need a reason why
I just need to hear you say my name
Yeah, call me back tonight
Before I fade into the same
