Call Me Back Lyrics

Wait time is the worst
I can hardly sit
No one has the time
Someone's always late
I look for you
And you look for me
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground

Tell me, don't tell me, the hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
Tell me, don't tell me, the hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you

Wait time is to blame
Mapped out fame's a trip
We all have the time
Someone's always fed
I look for you
And you look away
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground

(Waking up is so much fun to do) tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
(An '80s movie make-out party with you) tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
