[Verse 1]
I saw your name light up
Then it went dark again
I kept the whole night open
Like you might call back then
I’m standing by the doorway
With my pride on mute
You got me pacing circles
In these worn-out boots
[Pre-Chorus]
Time will tell
If you want me
Time will tell
If you need me now
I’m done pretending
I can wait forever
So pick it up
Pick it up
[Chorus]
Time will tell
If you like me or not
Pick up your phone
I’m calling you
Out on the town
Don’t care who likes it or not
Pick up your phone
I’m calling you
(Time will tell)
(Pick up your phone)
[Verse 2]
I’m at the corner bar now
Neon on my skin
Everybody’s talking
But I can’t get in
You said maybe later
I said I’ll be there
Now the whole place knows me
And I don’t even care
[Pre-Chorus]
Time will tell
If you want me
Time will tell
If you need me now
I’m done pretending
I can wait forever
So pick it up
Pick it up
[Chorus]
Time will tell
If you like me or not
Pick up your phone
I’m calling you
Out on the town
Don’t care who likes it or not
Pick up your phone
I’m calling you
(Time will tell)
(Pick up your phone)
[Bridge]
If you’re coming, come now
If you’re not, say so
I’m tired of the almost
Tired of the maybe-so
One honest answer
That’s all I need tonight
I’m already outside
Under the hard white sky
[Final Chorus]
Time will tell
If you like me or not
Pick up your phone
I’m calling you
Out on the town
Don’t care who likes it or not
Pick up your phone
I’m calling you
Time will tell
Yeah, time will tell
Pick up your phone
I’m calling you
(Time will tell)
(Pick up your phone)
