Call Me in Synthwave

كلمات الأغنية

WHO DO I CALL? BEZBEZ Piano and violin intro → hip-hop verses → hard-rock chorus → trance finale [INTRO — SPOKEN, PHONE RINGING] Funny thing about making it… You spend years imagining what you’ll say. Nobody tells you you might run out of people to tell. [VERSE 1 — LOW VOICE, PIANO + BASS] Signed my name, they slid the keys, Salesman took a photograph of me. Pulled outside, let the engine scream, Reached for my phone at the light on green. Almost called you out of habit, Had some good news—you should’ve had it. Guy behind me leaned into his horn, I drove that dream right past your door. Bought a table that could seat twelve, Ate my dinner standing by myself. City shining through a wall of glass, Still warming up a meal too fast. [PRE-CHORUS — VIOLIN RISES] Everybody saw the moment, Hands up, cameras rolling. Nobody saw me leave With your number on my screen. [CHORUS — FULL BAND, BIG MELODY] Who do I call when the dream comes true? When the whole damn room ain’t got you? Got a million people singing my song, Who do I call when the lights go off? I made it, I made it— Why’s it so hard to say? I made it, I made it— You should’ve seen today. Oh-oh, tell me, who do I call? What’s a standing ovation to an empty hall? [VERSE 2 — HIP-HOP, DRUMS TIGHTEN] Used to split fries in a parking lot, You stole the hot ones right off the top. Said, “When you’re famous, remember this— You owe me dinner, you cheap little shit.” Now I could buy out the restaurant, But they don’t serve the night I want. They bring me wine I can’t pronounce, I miss two cups and your parents’ couch. Kept saying, “Soon, when things slow down.” Then booked another flight out of town. You stopped asking. I called that peace. Thought you understood what it took from me. No, you understood it all too well: I kept choosing something else. Now there’s a seat with nobody in it, And I’d trade this watch for sixty minutes. [PRE-CHORUS — STRIPPED VOCAL] I rehearsed my winning speech, Never practiced “Please don’t leave.” Had an answer for the crowd, Nothing when you asked, “What now?” [CHORUS — HARD ROCK + HARMONIES] Who do I call when the dream comes true? When the whole damn room ain’t got you? Got a million people singing my song, Who do I call when the lights go off? I made it, I made it— Why’s it so hard to say? I made it, I made it— You should’ve seen today. Oh-oh, tell me, who do I call? What’s a standing ovation to an empty hall? [BRIDGE — SOLO PIANO, ALMOST SPOKEN] Tonight I called my oldest friend, Said, “You got time?” He said, “Depends.” I said, “No pitch. No favor, man. Just tell me how the hell you’ve been.” He laughed and said, “You finally learned.” I watched the skyline, let dinner burn. We talked till both our phones went red— First time that house felt lived in. [BUILD — VIOLIN + RISING SYNTH] There’s somebody I’ve been meaning to see, Somebody still saving a chair for me. Put the keys down. Let the phone ring. This time, I’m answering. [FINAL CHORUS — TRANCE DRUMS + GUITARS] Who do you call when the dream comes true? Who knew your name before the whole world knew? Before a million people sing your song, Call somebody with the kitchen light on. You made it, you made it— Go tell ’em while you can. You made it, you made it— Let somebody take your hand. Oh-oh, you don’t need it all— Just someone saying, “I’m glad you called.” [OUTRO — PHONE CONNECTS, SOFT PIANO] “Hello?” “Hey… Nothing happened. I just wanted to hear your voice.”
