You Can Call Me Anyway

(Verse 1)

I know I’m not the best with tears

I freeze up when the pain gets real

My mind goes blank, my hands just shake

Like I’m scared I’ll say the wrong thing again

I didn’t grow up knowing how

To let my heavy feelings out

So if I look a little lost

It’s not because I don’t care at all

Sometimes I sit there way too quiet

Trying to fix what I can’t fight

But if your world is falling down

I swear I’ll still be around

(Pre-Chorus)

And even if years pass us by

Even if we stop talking one night

If your chest gets heavy and you need someone—

(Chorus)

You can call me anyway

At 2AM or in the pouring rain

Even if we faded, even if we changed

Even if the last thing we said was full of pain

You don’t gotta talk if you can’t find the words

You can stay silent, I’ll still stay on the line

I’ll tell you dumb stories just to make you smile

Until the dark leaves your mind

You can call me anyway

I’ll still pick up every time

(Verse 2)

Maybe care is quiet sometimes

Not big speeches, not perfect lines

Maybe love is staying awake

Just to make sure someone’s okay

I know what it’s like needing help

But having nobody else

So if you ever feel alone

You’ll always have a place to go

And maybe I joke too much on calls

Talk about random shit to fill the walls

But if you stay quiet, I’ll understand why

You don’t gotta explain every tear you hide

(Chorus)

You can call me anyway

Even if we haven’t talked in days

Even if the distance turned familiar faces strange

I would still listen to every word you say

You don’t gotta hide every scar

You don’t gotta pretend you’re strong

If your heart feels too heavy to carry alone

Then let me stay with you a little longer

You can call me anyway

And I’ll stay until the silence fades

(Rap)

Yeah—

I know what it’s like to need somebody

And still feel alone at night

So if your thoughts get too loud in your head

Call me, I’ll stay till the morning light

Maybe I won’t fix everything

Maybe I won’t always know what to say

But I’d rather sit there in silence with you

Than let you go through it alone again

(Final Chorus)

So call me anyway

When your chest hurts and your thoughts won’t stay

Even if years pass, even if we change

Some people never really fade

And maybe I won’t have perfect words

Maybe I’ll mess up sometimes too

But if you need somebody through the dark

I swear I’ll still choose you

You can call me anyway

And I’ll come back to you

(Outro)

So if the night gets hard again

And you don’t know who understands

You can call me anyway
