Just Call Me.

I’m pacing the floor as a panther
The timekeeper’s keys are my clock
I’m bound by a casual promise
Tied to my neck and to this box

Set me free baby
You know I’m going crazy
Oh, get me out of here

If you say you’re gonna call
Just call me
And if you say you’ll be there
Just be there
I tried to call
You weren’t at home
I’m tired of staring at the phone
I’m not waiting here for long

I bit through my collar
Picked the lock
I don’t want to hear that you forgot

Set me free baby
It drives me more than crazy
And after a while
I just won’t care

And if you say you’re gonna call
Just call me
And if you say you’ll be there
Just be there
I tried to call
You weren’t at home
I’m tired of staring at the phone
I’m not waiting here for long

I’ll get a life without you
And I’ll make some plans of my own
Then on my door
You’ll come knockin’ baby
Knockin’ now yeah yeah
And no one will be home

Don’t do this to me now
Can’t you hear me calling out
This is your last chance
I want an answer

And if you say you’re gonna call
Just call me
And if you say you’ll be there
Just be there
I tried to call
You weren’t at home
I’m tired of staring at the phone
I’m not waiting here for long

I’ll get a life without you
And I’ll make some plans of my own
Then on my door
You’ll come knockin’ baby
Knockin’ now yeah yeah
And no one will be home

You said that you would call
Said that you would call
